The Witcher 4 targets 2028 release, CD Projekt confirms

gamingAug 24, 202619801

The Witcher franchise hit a new moment when CD Projekt Red confirmed The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window and teased a new Witcher 3 DLC that will be detailed at Gamescom. Michał Nowakowski personally invited players to Gamescom and framed the update with a promise that "it'll be worth the wait," prompting a mix of gleeful speculation and pleas to the studio to take its time. A sharp thread of conversation revolves around Ciri being the lead in Witcher 4, with some posts expressing hostility while others insist on patience and support. The immediate burst of posts centers on anticipation for the Gamescom reveal and whether the studio can deliver on the bold timeline.

Sorry but #NoDiscNoBuy. Witcher and Cyberpunk are such a huge IPs so please please please fight with those stupid decisions made but greedy Sony

The way people feel about GTA6 is how I feel about TW4. Like it’s that serious to me!

QuestLog2

Very excited for Songs of the Past. The idea of an expansion based on history and memory (seemingly) released a decade after the last expansion is really cool. Hyped to do a full replay, but if there's any systems changes I'll be waiting for release

The Witcher 4 tiene una fecha prevista de lanzamiento para el 2028

¿Para jugarse el 4 hay que jugarse las entregas del 1 al 3, el Chain of Enchantments, el Birth By Witchery y el 358/2 Moons más la serie de Netflix, o puede jugarse independientemente?

They actually turned against Ciri when it was revealed she was the lead of Witcher 4. This loser is already getting up in arms over it.

Ciri was a lesbian already in the books

Dreamer in the Void5

Imagine being upset that Ciri might become a more powerful witcher than Geralt after ALL of the lore, revelations and foreshadowing etc. emphasising her potential and importance from the very beginning.🙄

LSaddler (Xemnu Era)3

Like Ciri was always fucking important to the series

Isaak // Multiverse Rift Music2

Ciri was already all this in the last book she appeared in.
