CD Projekt has announced that Project Polaris, the anticipated Witcher 4, is nearing full production after achieving substantial progress during preproduction. This was highlighted by joint CEO Michał Nowakowski, who expressed excitement about reaching a major milestone in development. Additionally, the studio is also working on Project Orion, a new game in the Cyberpunk franchise. The news follows a shout-out to modders for their innovative work with The Witcher 3 during the earnings call, fueling anticipation for the future of the Witcher series and Cyberpunk universe.

When will The Witcher 4 be released?
