CD Projekt Red has provided a new update on the development of the next entry in its flagship franchise, establishing a 2028 release window for The Witcher IV. The information was released ahead of Gamescom, offering a clearer timeline for fans waiting for the next chapter in the saga.

Quick Facts

Release Window: 2028

The announcement confirms the studio's current trajectory for the project, which is often referred to by the internal working title A New Saga Begins.
