In case you are excited to play CD Projekt Purple’s upcoming RPG The Witcher 4, simply know that you just’re gonna be ready a very long time. The developer has confirmed that the earliest attainable launch date for the sequel is someday in 2027, making me surprise if The Witcher 4 may find yourself being a sport all of us play on PlayStation 6.
The Witcher 4 was first informally introduced again in October 2022 as half of a bigger roadmap from CDPR’s mum or dad firm CD Projekt outlining the assorted initiatives the studio was planning to work on. Included in that roadmap was a brand new Witcher trilogy that might be a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Witcher video games launched between 2007 and 2015, ending with The Witcher 3 and its expansions. In March 2024 the primary sequel entered full manufacturing. After which in December 2024 on the Recreation Awards, CDP formally unveiled the primary trailer for The Witcher 4, that includes Ciri. Now it looks as if we’re no less than two years away from taking part in the sport that trailer teased.
On March 25, as noticed by PC Gamer, throughout CDP’s newest monetary earnings name the corporate gave a tiny replace on The Witcher 4. As a part of a piece targeted on “consolidated internet revenue targets” a CDP consultant mentioned: “Regardless that we don’t plan to launch The Witcher 4 by the tip of 2026, we’re nonetheless pushed by this monetary objective.”
Afterward, in a observe up Q&A bit, CDP declined to announce a “exact launch date” for The Witcher 4 and didn’t share any additional particulars.
That guidelines out 2026 (and 2025) as a launch window for the upcoming RPG sequel and signifies that the earliest we will count on the sport is someday in 2027. And take into accout, that’s simply the earliest attainable launch window. The Witcher 4 might slip into 2028 as CD Projekt tries to keep away from crunch and overworking its builders.
If The Witcher 4 just isn’t arriving till 2027 or later, which means it’s very doubtless that it’s going to launch on a brand new era of consoles. Home windows Central beforehand reported that Microsoft was tentatively planning to launch its next-gen Xbox in 2027. And contemplating that previously, each Xbox and PlayStation have launched their new consoles in the identical time interval, it stands to cause that Sony is probably going eyeing 2027 for the PS6 as effectively. So The Witcher 4 could possibly be an early RPG success on the PS6, although I’d count on that it might be a cross-gen sport, too.
For now although, all of us have a whole lot of ready to do earlier than we will play both a PS6 or The Witcher 4. Maybe learn a ebook or be taught a brand new pastime to go the time.
