CD Projekt Red confirms it is targeting a release in 2028 for The Witcher 4, sharing the update in a video ahead of Gamescom. Multiple outlets report joint CEO Michał Nowakowski says the sequel is the studio’s biggest and most ambitious project to date and emphasizes that development is ongoing.
The announcements also set expectations for Gamescom 2026 itself. Several sources say CD Projekt Red does not plan to deliver new Witcher 4 news at the event, instead focusing on unveiling The Witcher 3’s “Songs of the Past” DLC. Outlets further note the company teases “surprises” during Gamescom livestreams, though details beyond Witcher 4’s timing are limited in the reporting.
Across the coverage, the main difference is phrasing: some describe the release window as a “confirmed” year, while others stress CD Projekt Red is “targeting” 2028, leaving room for delays. The reports generally agree the studio frames the timeline as tentative and tied to continued development.
