The Witcher 4
The Witcher 4 is CD PROJEKT RED's upcoming single-player open-world RPG — Ciri begins her own path as a professional monster slayer in the first game of a new saga. It remains in full-scale production, with no release date or final launch platforms announced.
Latest update
CD PROJEKT's May 28, 2026 first-quarter update continues to describe The Witcher 4 as an upcoming handoff from Geralt's era to Ciri's new saga. CD PROJEKT RED has not announced a release date, price, editions, pre-orders or final launch platforms; the latest major project showcase remains the June 2025 Unreal Engine 5 technology demonstration.
Release date and status
CD PROJEKT RED is developing The Witcher 4 in full-scale production. The studio has not announced a release date or release window, so any specific year or day circulating outside its official channels remains unconfirmed.

Gameplay overview
CD PROJEKT RED describes The Witcher 4 as a single-player open-world RPG starring a professional monster slayer. The reveal establishes Ciri's chain weapon and advanced magic, while the studio says its customized Unreal Engine 5 work is intended to create its most immersive and ambitious Witcher open world.
Story, setting, or main mode
Ciri leads the first game in a new Witcher saga. The cinematic reveal follows her intervention in a remote village's ritual sacrifice, and CD PROJEKT RED confirms that Kovir will appear in the game; the separate technology demonstration follows Ciri and Kelpie toward the port town of Valdrest.
Trailer, screenshots, and media

Developer and publisher
CD PROJEKT RED develops and publishes The Witcher 4. Epic Games is the studio's technology partner for Unreal Engine 5 open-world development, not the announced game publisher.
