CD Projekt Red updates listeners ahead of Gamescom and confirms it is targeting a 2028 release window for The Witcher 4. Multiple outlets report the announcement comes in a video featuring joint CEO Michał Nowakowski, who frames the project as the studio’s biggest and most ambitious game to date.
The reports generally agree on the timing: CD Projekt Red says it is “targeting” 2028, indicating the year is not final and could move. Several outlets also note the studio is positioning Gamescom communications around The Witcher 3, with “Songs of the Past” set to be fully unveiled there, and that the team plans to share other surprises during Gamescom livestreams.
While the core takeaway is consistent—the 2028 target—outlets differ slightly in emphasis. Some focus on the specificity of the release window, others stress the uncertainty implied by “targeting,” and a few mention the broader Witcher roadmap, including a new trilogy that extends beyond Witcher 4.
