The Witcher 4 Eyes 2028 Release, Witcher 3 Expansion Coming 2027

Exciting news for fans of the Continent! CD Projekt Red has given us a glimpse into the future of The Witcher franchise, with joint CEO Michał Nowakowski revealing in a recent video that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window. While the studio has been hard at work on the next installment and has shared some impressive tech demos showcasing its Unreal Engine 5 capabilities, this is the first time we've received a concrete timeframe for when we might actually get our hands on the game.

But the wait for the next mainline Witcher adventure won't be entirely empty. Before we venture into the unknown with Geralt's successor, CD Projekt Red is set to release an expansion for the beloved The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled 'Songs of the Past.' This expansion is scheduled to drop sometime in 2027 and will be featured at Gamescom's Opening Night Live event, hosted by Geoff Keighley. So, while The Witcher 4 is still a few years away, there's certainly more Witcher content on the horizon to keep us engaged.

The development of The Witcher 4 has been a long-standing project, and the studio has previously shared tantalizing glimpses of its progress. The move to Unreal Engine 5 promises a significant visual upgrade, and fans are eager to see how the new story and characters will unfold. The confirmation of a 2028 target gives players something concrete to look forward to, fueling anticipation for what is expected to be another epic RPG experience.

For now, the focus shifts to the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion, which should offer a welcome return to familiar lands and characters. With both 'Songs of the Past' and The Witcher 4 on the roadmap, CD Projekt Red is clearly committed to expanding its acclaimed fantasy universe. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to these exciting releases!
