The Witcher 4 targets 2028 release, CD Projekt confirms

gamingAug 24, 2026191,090

The Witcher 4 is now targeting a 2028 release, and CD Projekt Red used a brief development update to announce it will tease a new Witcher 3 DLC at Gamescom while Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski invited fans to hear the franchise's future. Fans immediately split over character focus, with some posts celebrating hints like "Songs of the Past" and surprise reveals and others lashing out at the suggestion that Ciri is the lead. CD Projekt framed the update as short on specifics, saying "it'll be worth the wait" and that they are not ready to share an exact date but are targeting 2028.

So basically no disc, just fantastic.

So just after the games companies all kill off the discs, great.

Cool only 13 years after witcher 3 😬

That just means that Cyberpunk 2 is gonna come out waaaay past 2028 and that makes me sad. Also it won't be physical which utter BULLSHIT.

Like who cares when it’s still 2026.

Let's not rush it. We all remember what happens when CD Projekt Red rushes stuff.

Oh so when physical discs are obsolete and PS5 is $1000. That's fantastic.

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

CDPR has become one of my favourite developers so as they said, LET THEM COOK! 🔥😎

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

¿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.
