In a recent financial briefing, CD Projekt RED confirmed that The Witcher 4 will not be released before 2027. This revelation came during an investor Q&A session, where Chief Financial Officer Piotr Nielubowicz elaborated on the studio’s reasoning:

“At this stage, we are not in a position to announce a specific release date for the game. However, to provide greater transparency to our investors, we can confirm that The Witcher 4 will not launch within the first target period of our incentive program, which concludes on December 31, 2026.”

This statement effectively rules out any possibility of the game arriving earlier than 2027. While some fans may find this timeline disappointing, it’s important to note that the original 2026 estimate was always overly optimistic. Developers only announced in November 2024 that the project had entered full-scale production. Given CD Projekt RED’s reputation for crafting expansive, intricately detailed worlds, it’s clear that the team needs ample time to ensure the game meets their high standards.

The first teaser trailer, unveiled during The Game Awards 2024, became the most-watched video on IGN’s channel among all trailers from the event, surpassing 8 million views. By comparison, Elden Ring: Nightreign, its closest competitor, garnered just 2.77 million views. Additionally, the game set a new record for media coverage during The Game Awards, solidifying its status as one of the most anticipated titles in gaming history.

As CD Projekt RED continues to refine The Witcher 4 , fans can expect a game that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and immersion—albeit one that demands patience.
