The Witcher 4 targets 2028 release with spring window speculated

CD Projekt Red maintains an official 2028 release target for The Witcher 4. The studio says the timeline is likely due to strict platform checkmarks, which also delays development on The Witcher remake. A new job listing for a Legal Counsel at the studio has sparked discussion about an earlier window inside that year.

The recruitment listing includes a fixed-term contract that ends on April 30, 2028. Observers point to the contract end date and past series history as context for a potential spring launch. The Witcher 2 launched on May 17, 2011, and The Witcher 3 arrived on May 19, 2015.

CD Projekt Red has not confirmed an exact month for the release, and the spring window remains interpretation rather than official confirmation. The studio previously announced The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion earlier in 2026, showing the first steps during Gamescom in August.
