CDPR announced that The Witcher 4 will be released in 2028, launching on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. CD Projekt RED Co-CEO Michal Nowakowski revealed this news in a video.
CDPR stated that they will showcase a full preview of The Witcher 3's new DLC "Old Times" at this year's Gamescom, but will not reveal The Witcher 4, as they are not yet ready. The Witcher 4 will be their largest, boldest, and most ambitious game to date, with a confirmed release in 2028.
It is worth noting that the officials have expressed their hope that everyone will tune in to the special Gamescom program on time every day, as there may be one or two surprises.
Ciri:
"I'd like to invite everyone to watch the Opening Night Live stream on August 26th and visit us at Gamescom. This year, we have major announcements, bringing something very special for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Old Times. We'll showcase much of what this expansion has to offer, including glimpses into its dark narrative and the new experiences it brings. If you have the time, come visit us at Gamescom; we have a large booth in Hall 8, where our team will provide the first full preview of Old Times. Also, be sure to catch the daily RED special livestreams. We might even share a surprise or two."
"Of course, the world of The Witcher holds much more. Our team at CD Projekt Red headquarters is working hard to craft a brand-new legendary story, starring Ciri. With over 500 talented developers dedicated to creating something truly extraordinary for you, The Witcher 4 features a vast and immersive open world, thrilling action gameplay, and a deeply moving story that we hope will stay with you for a long time. In short, this is our biggest, boldest, and most ambitious project to date."
"I know you're all eager to find out when The Witcher 4 will be released. We've been hearing this question constantly. Although we won't be showcasing The Witcher 4 at this event and can't reveal an exact release date yet, I can tell you that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release. I know this means a wait, and you'd surely like to play it sooner, but please be patient and let the development team polish it carefully. All the waiting will be worth it. In the meantime, there's more exciting content coming to The Witcher series, including Old Times, scheduled for release in 2027. And rest assured, Gamescom remains part of our future plans. See you on the road!"
