CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 4 will not be released before 2027. During a recent earnings presentation, it was made clear that the ambitious RPG will not meet earlier projections that hinted at a 2026 launch. This news has dashed the hopes of many fans eagerly anticipating the next installment in the acclaimed series.

In the presentation, Piotr Nielubowicz, the Chief Financial Officer, explained that while the game has made substantial progress, it is still too early to announce a new release date. The developers are focusing on aligning their financial goals with expectations surrounding the game’s development.

The Witcher 4 has been a subject of excitement, with CD Projekt announcing in 2024 that the game had entered full production. However, with this confirmation of the release timeline, fans will need to manage their expectations regarding the launch.
