If you’re 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 doable launch date for the sequel is someday in 2027, making me marvel if The Witcher 4 would possibly find yourself being a recreation 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 father or mother firm CD Projekt outlining the varied 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 Sport Awards, CDP formally unveiled the primary trailer for The Witcher 4, that includes Ciri. Now it looks as if we’re not 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 bit centered on “consolidated internet revenue objectives” a CDP consultant stated: “Though we don’t plan to launch The Witcher 4 by the tip of 2026, we’re nonetheless pushed by this monetary aim.”
Afterward, in a comply with 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 are able to anticipate the sport is someday in 2027. And bear in mind, that’s simply the earliest doable launch window. The Witcher 4 may slip into 2028 as CD Projekt tries to keep away from crunch and overworking its builders.
If The Witcher 4 will not be arriving till 2027 or later, which means it’s very doubtless that it’ll 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 purpose that Sony is probably going eyeing 2027 for the PS6 as nicely. So The Witcher 4 may very well be an early RPG success on the PS6, although I’d anticipate that it could be a cross-gen recreation, too.
For now although, all of us have a whole lot of ready to do earlier than we are able to play both a PS6 or The Witcher 4. Maybe learn a guide or be taught a brand new passion to move the time.
