As the excitement builds for The Game Awards 2025 set for December 11, The Witcher 4 will not appear at the event. Michał Nowakowski, the joint-CEO of CD Projekt Red, shared this update, advising fans to temper expectations regarding the unveiling of this much-anticipated title.

The announcement comes ahead of the awards, which highlight significant releases from both AAA and indie titles this year. Fans tuning in usually look forward to updates about upcoming games. Despite The Witcher 4’s initial reveal at last year’s Game Awards, any glimpses of new content will not surface this year.

This year has seen an impressive lineup of games, and while CD Projekt Red joins the festivities as a spectator rather than a participant, they are grateful to fans who have supported the game with their votes for Most Anticipated Game. The competition is fierce this year, with nominees like 007 First Light, Grand Theft Auto 6, and Marvel’s Wolverine.

In an earlier revelation, exploring new trailers for forthcoming releases, there’s speculation about the presence of another anticipated title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is also expected to miss the show.

Despite The Witcher 4’s absence from Game Awards 2025, its development continues, powered by the new Unreal Engine 5, promising an immersive experience within its open-world setting. Continued anticipation surrounds whether more details will be shared at any other events, as the community believes a potential release date of 2027 might be on the horizon.
