  "account": "CD Projekt Red has officially announced that The Witcher 4 is set to release in 2028. Joint Chief Executive Officer Michał Nowakowski revealed this during a special video message. If the company maintains its release strategy, The Witcher 5 could follow in 2031 and The Witcher 6 in 2034.\n\nNowakowski confirmed The Witcher 4 will not be showcased at Gamescom 2026. The developer is currently working on a new saga, described as \"truly special\" with a large open world, intense gameplay, and an impactful story. The Witcher 4 promises to be the largest, boldest, and most ambitious game from the studio.\n\nWhile The Witcher 4's release date is being kept under wraps, fans can look forward to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expansion Songs of the Past, launching in 2027. This expansion, developed with Fool’s Theory, will return players to Geralt of Rivia's world, offering a standalone adventure that also acts as a prologue to The Witcher 4. Nowakowski emphasized the expansion's purpose: delivering a high-quality, fun experience for existing fans.",
