When will The Witcher 4 be released?

The Witcher 4 is expected to release no earlier than 2027, as confirmed by CD Projekt.

The Witcher franchise has been a monumental success in both gaming and literature, originating from the stories of Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Its previous installment, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, garnered critical acclaim and numerous Game of the Year awards for its rich narrative and expansive open world. The anticipation surrounding The Witcher 4 builds off this legacy, while fans also remain eager for updates on the previously announced sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.
