CD Projekt Redhas announced that a new game in The Witcher series is in development, believed to be4, kicking off what could be a new saga of Witcher games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launched in 2015, but the series has received new video games over the past few years, such as Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, and the franchise as a whole has made a successful jump to live-action TV, in the form of Netflix's The Witcher series.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding a new entry in The Witcher video game series. Cyberpunk 2077's catastrophic launch and wave of negative press led people to believe that CDPR would announce a new game in The Witcher series to try and win back some of the audience upset by the game's launch. The growing success of The Witcher TV show also meant that a new video game would be a good idea, to capitalize on the new audience for the franchise.

The official website for The Witcher video game series has announced that a Witcher 4 is on the way, teased as a "saga," which could hint at multiple future releases (via Nibellion). It has been confirmed that this new title will use Unreal Engine 5, as part of a multi-year deal with Epic Games, which will lead to other games in the future that use possible iterations of Unreal Engine. A piece of key art was released, showing a Witcher medallion with red eyes, partly buried beneath the snow. No further details about the game have been released, such as potential release dates.
