In October 2022, CD Projekt Red revealed its future product lineup, including announcements for a new Witcher trilogy, a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, a new IP codenamed Hadar, and a Witcher spin-off. Recently, CD Projekt Red released the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077, but delayed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt until 2022, so it's possibly that The Witcher 4's development might be delayed as well.

Why? Because previous Witcher titles have needed a 4-year development cycle. Considering development starts 2022, we likely won’t see Witcher 4 until 2026.

However, if we had to guess, the next Witcher game is likely going to launch for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X| S. We imagine the team is still working on getting Cyberpunk 2077 patched and upgraded for next-gen consoles.

CD Projekt Red is kicking off a parallel AAA game development strategy starting in 2022. We don't know when The Witcher 4 will launch, but we can confirm that another game in The Witcher franchise is in the works thanks to a CD Projekt Red business strategy report. At this point, no further details regarding the game - such as a development time frame or release date - are available." We'll closely collaborate with Epic Games’ developers with the primary goal being to help tailor the engine for open-world experiences. It covers not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine, where relevant. In a blog post, CDProjekt writes, "This is an exciting moment as we’re moving from REDengine to Unreal Engine 5, beginning a multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games.
