The Witcher 4 Is Targeting a 2028 Release, CDPR Confirms
Although the new Witcher 3 DLC will be the first reveal at Gamescom 2026, unfortunately, it has now been confirmed that The Witcher 4 won’t be shown at the upcoming event. This is because CDPR isn’t ready to share an exact release date for The Witcher 4.
However, Michał Nowakowski has revealed that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window while personally inviting fans to Gamescom. You can watch the new video in which the joint CEO discusses more about the future of The Witcher franchise right below:
The Witcher 4 entered full production in 2024, but there is still a long road ahead before fans can finally play as Ciri in The Witcher 4. The CDPR boss knows this, and claims that the game will be totally worth the wait. “I know it’s a bit of a wait and you would love to play it sooner, but let the team cook. It will be worth the wait,” Michał Nowakowski said.
Just as players saw in The Witcher 4 tech demo, it is indeed the biggest, boldest, and most ambitious game from CDPR, according to Michał Nowakowski. Ciri is replacing Geralt as the new Witcher in the upcoming saga. The game will feature a massive and immersive open world for players to explore.
Moreover, Witcher fans can look forward to intriguing, action-packed gameplay and an unforgettable story as usual. In the meantime, there will be plenty more of The Witcher to come, starting with The Witcher 3 DLC Songs of the Past, which is releasing in 2027. The new DLC will bridge the story gap between The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4.
So, fans who were looking forward to The Witcher 4 at Gamescom can instead check out the first gameplay of The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past during Opening Night Live.
