CD Projekt Red has also confirmed that the remake of The Witcher 1 is currently on hold to allocate more resources towards The Witcher 4, which is set for a 2028 release. Additionally, the company is working on the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, as well as a sequel to Cyberpunk and a remake of The Witcher 1. Despite this busy schedule, CDPR continues to release new content, with The Witcher 3 Remastered launching this month, available for free to existing owners with their old save files intact.",
