The planned release forThe Witcher 4is still a long way off, andCD Projektisn’t giving much away, although they have narrowed it down to the year we might see it.
The Desire for The Witcher 4
IfThe Witcher 3onPC, Steam Deck, PS4, and Xbox Oneleft you wanting more, and its Next-Gen update for PS5 and Series X|S wasn’t enough, you might be eager to playThe Witcher 4as soon as possible.
It’s understandable, especially with the shift in focus from Geralt to Ciri. The downside is that there is no release date for the game, not even an approximate window, and that is concerning for many.
Everyone assumes there are many months of development left, but at the same time, they want something more concrete. One thing is clear:The Witcher 4is coming in 2025, and it’s possible that it won’t arrive until 2026.
There are optimistic players and realistic ones—two sides of the same coin. The bad news is thatCD Projektaligns with the latter group—sometimes considered pessimistic—and confirms what no one wants to believe.
The Announcement: “Not in 2026”
Through a video presenting the fiscal results for 2024, the Polish studio behind the great Cyberpunk 2077 also spoke aboutThe Witcher 4and other interesting topics.
The first blow came with an update on the calendar: “not in 2026,” along with a look at the “consolidated net profit goals of the CD Projekt group.”
Among comments and various data, Piotr Nielubowicz, the company’s CFO, said: “Although we don’t plan to release The Witcher 4 before the end of 2026, we remain driven by this financial goal.”
This is related to the studio’s incentive programs based on stock options, where they spoke about Ciri’s game possibly arriving in 2027, but CDPR didn’t want to comment on anything specific beyond 2026.
Will it Arrive in 2027?
This period “ends on August 14, 2025,” so that year is ruled out. The studio mentioned thatThe Witcher 4entered large-scale production in November 2024, so we’ll need to be patient.
It’s also true thatCyberpunk 2077gaveCD Projekta record year in profits, while the company is moving forward with a new adaptation.Thus, it seems thatThe Witcher 4still doesn’t have a release date, and CDPR confirms we won’t be seeing Ciri until 2027.
