CD Projekt Pink has posted a fast replace about The Witcher 4, narrowing down the discharge date for its upcoming RPG sequel. “That is our greatest, boldest, and most bold sport thus far,” says CD Projekt Pink joint-CEO Michal Nowakowski, shortly earlier than confirming the studio is “focusing on” a launch date in 2028. Keep in mind, then, that this might all the time slip.
“I do know it is a bit of a wait, and also you’d like to play it sooner–however let the staff cook dinner. Will probably be definitely worth the wait,” he says. He offers us a number of extra bytes of data, too; noting the staff is “laborious at work on a model new saga” with “greater than 500 builders” engaged on the sport (considered one of which, we expect, is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s cinematic animator). Nowakowski reiterates the sport may have an enormous, immersive open world, intense action-packed gameplay, and a deep, impactful story. Definitely feels like The Witcher to me.

In the meantime, all eyes are on The Witcher 3’s new DLC, Songs of the Previous. “We have lots of the enlargement to point out off, together with a style of its darkish story, and the brand new continent it would convey.” Gamescom would be the first time the studio is displaying off this sudden DLC – and I will be seeing the sport and chatting to the devs on the present. Anticipate extra information later this week.
The Witcher 3’s enlargement Songs of the Previous is being made by as many individuals as made The Witcher 3 – probably much more. What else will we learn about Songs of the Previous? Nicely, we all know that the enlargement will star Geralt relatively than Ciri, who’ll lead The Witcher 4, by the way in which, however we do not know something about timelines. It is sensible for Ciri to be concerned by some means given the enlargement’s positioning earlier than The Witcher 4, however whether or not it takes place after the occasions of The Witcher 3 or earlier than them, we’re at the moment none the wiser. Perhaps there are flashbacks to a “Previous” referenced by the title, or perhaps it takes place prior to now. We’re resulting from discover out extra later in the summertime.
CD Projekt Pink additionally teases “one or two surprises” coming elsewhere on the present. It stays to be seen what these are.
