**The Anticipation of The Witcher 4: A Look Ahead to 2028**
In a surprising announcement that has captured the attention of gaming enthusiasts, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel, **The Witcher 4**, is set to release in 2028. This news comes on the heels of the studio’s recent unveiling of an expansion for the beloved **The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt**, titled **Songs of the Past**, at Gamescom.
Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski shared this timeline in a video address, describing the upcoming title as CD Projekt’s “biggest, boldest, and most ambitious game to date.” This proclamation, made in an intimate setting, promises that a team of over 500 talented developers is hard at work creating a game that seeks to push the boundaries of RPGs.
While some may find the 2028 release window surprising, analysts note that previous financial reports from CD Projekt Red have hinted at a longer development cycle. Thankfully, the game has not been delayed further into 2029 or 2030, giving fans a sense of the timeline to look forward to in the near future.
To bridge the gap until the release of The Witcher 4, CD Projekt Red is set to reveal further details about **Songs of the Past** during this week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live. This expansion is teased to feature a “dark story,” aligning with the studio’s established reputation for crafting intricate narratives within a dark fantasy setting.
As expectations build for both the DLC and the next installment of the Witcher saga, CD Projekt Red continues to emphasize their commitment to delivering memorable gaming experiences. Fans can expect more insights and news as the development of The Witcher 4 progresses toward its 2028 launch.
