The Witcher 4: everything we know so far

techradar.com:

After years of waiting, The Witcher 4 is officially on its way. Or, at least, the next mainline Witcher game is, since we don't have an actual name for it right now. For now, it is nicknamed 'Polaris.'

Back in March 2022, developer CD Projekt Red announced The Witcher 4 in a blog post. That stated «the next installment in The Witcher series of video games is currently in development» and the title will kick off «a new saga». This new saga is actually a new trilogy, which will start with whatever Polaris is.

It's not surprising that CD Projekt RED is finally talking about a new Witcher game. The developer has previously been open to another entry in its mega-successful fantasy series. President of CD Projekt RED, Adam Kiciński, said in March 2020 that there's a «relatively clear concept» for the next Witcher game. He also revealed full production would begin «immediately» after Cyberpunk 2077 released.

Let's begin by tempering our excitement. CD Projekt RED has announced that The Witcher 4 is in active development, but it also made clear in its blog post(opens in new tab) that «no further details» about a «release date» are available.

Now, to put that in some perspective, the original reveal trailer for Cyberpunk 2077(opens in new tab) was released seven years before the game actually came out. To pour a little hope back into the situation, CD Projekt RED published a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt title reveal trailer(opens in new tab) just two years ahead of The Witcher 3's release. 

That is all to say, we are likely multiple years away from The Witcher 4's release. Mark your calendars for 2024 at the earliest, though it'll probably be longer.
