CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said in a new video that the studio is aiming to release The Witcher 4 in 2028. Before that, the company plans a 2027 launch for Songs of the Past, an expansion for The Witcher 3, which will be featured at Gamescom's Opening Night Live this week.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This is the first concrete timeline CD Projekt Red has given for its next mainline Witcher game after years of teaser footage without dates. The staggered rollout, including the Witcher 3 expansion first, suggests the studio is managing a long development cycle while keeping the franchise visible, even as it also faces setbacks like layoffs on its multiplayer spinoff Project Siris.
- The Witcher 4 is targeted for a 2028 release, per CD Projekt Red's joint CEO.
- A Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, is planned for 2027 and will appear at Gamescom.
- CD Projekt Red recently laid off staff on its multiplayer Witcher spinoff, Project Siris.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition — With The Witcher 4 not arriving until 2028 and a new Witcher 3 expansion on the way, now is the perfect time to (re)play Geralt's greatest adventure. The Complete Edition bundles the base game with the acclaimed Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions, so you'll be caught up on the lore before Songs of the Past.
