The Witcher 4 release date estimate, trailer, and latest news

When is The Witcher 4 release date? CD Projekt Red initially confirmed the existence of a new game in The Witcher series via a press release in March 2022 and a title update in October 2022. Following a long wait - one that felt like eternity for fans of the series - The Witcher 4 was officially revealed at The Game Awards in December 2024, alongside its first trailer.

We know that the upcoming open-world game is the first installment in a new trilogy, and sees Ciri take on the role of the protagonist. While CDPR's global PR director had previously hinted the next installment wouldn’t be called The Witcher 4, the official reveal trailer has confirmed its position as a direct sequel in the mainline series.
