If you’re excited to play CD Projekt Purple’s upcoming RPG The Witcher 4, simply know that you simply’re gonna be ready a very long time. The developer has confirmed that the earliest doable launch date for the sequel is someday in 2027, making me marvel 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 guardian 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 may 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 a minimum of two years away from enjoying 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 bit targeted on “consolidated internet revenue objectives” 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 aim.”
In a while, in a observe up Q&A piece, 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 implies that the earliest we will count on the sport is someday in 2027. And take note, that’s simply the earliest doable 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 is just not arriving till 2027 or later, meaning it’s very seemingly 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 motive that Sony is probably going eyeing 2027 for the PS6 as properly. So The Witcher 4 could possibly be an early RPG success on the PS6, although I’d count on that it could 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 e-book or study a brand new passion to cross the time.
