CD Projekt Red is preparing to unveil The Witcher 4, with a tentative launch window set for 2028. Instead of a full reveal, the company will spend Gamescom showcasing the first Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past. Spanning five days, the event will feature previews, interviews, and behind-the-scenes content, accessible via Twitch and YouTube from August 26 to 30, between 4 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET.
Similar in size to Blood and Wine, Songs of the Past will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC next year, developed in collaboration with Fools Theory, known for The Thaumaturge and the upcoming first Witcher game remake. Additionally, The Witcher 4 will focus on Ciri, shifting away from Geralt's perspective. CD Projekt Red's co-CEO, Michał Nowakowski, hints at potential delays for The Witcher 4, but the company aims for a rapid development cycle, leveraging its partnership with Epic Games on Unreal Engine 5.
CD Projekt has ambitious plans for the future, including a Witcher 1 remake, another Witcher game from The Molasses Flood, an unannounced new IP, and the 2023 release of the well-received Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077.
