Get ready to return to the Continent! CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window. This monumental announcement comes from Michał Nowakowski, Joint Chief Executive Officer at CD Projekt Red, and promises an ambitious new saga for Geralt’s legacy.
A New Saga Begins
While we eagerly await more details, the news confirms that The Witcher 4 is indeed in development. Assuming CD Projekt sticks to its plans, we could see The Witcher 5 and even The Witcher 6 arrive in subsequent years, continuing the epic saga for generations of gamers. The team is hard at work on this new chapter, aiming to deliver a truly special experience.
During Gamescom this week, CD Projekt will showcase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s upcoming expansion, “Songs of the Past,” offering fans a glimpse into its dark narrative and new content. However, don’t expect to see The Witcher 4 at Gamescom 2026.
“Songs of the Past”: A Bridge to the Future
Songs of the Past, the third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is slated for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Developed in collaboration with Fool’s Theory, a team comprised of industry veterans who previously worked on The Witcher 3, this expansion will see Geralt return for a brand-new adventure.
CD Projekt has suggested that Songs of the Past will help maintain excitement for the franchise and act as a bridge between The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4. The expansion is expected to be similar in scope to Blood and Wine, offering players a substantial amount of new content, including more Gwent cards.
In a recent interview, Nowakowski emphasized that the focus for Songs of the Past was delivering a great experience for fans. While it will indirectly remind players of the franchise, its primary goal is to provide a high-quality adventure starring Geralt. The decision to release the expansion in 2027 was made to achieve the best possible result for consumers.
Keep an eye out for clues related to Songs of the Past! CD Projekt has already teased some hints, including a mysterious new sword that Geralt will wield in the expansion. This same sword is featured in both the artwork released in April and the official reveal art for Songs of the Past, hinting at its significance to the story.
While we await more details, The Witcher 3 continues to be a massive success, recently hitting an astounding 65 million copies sold. The release of Songs of the Past and the eventual arrival of The Witcher 4 promise to keep the franchise thriving for years to come.
