Everyone is patiently awaiting any details on The Witcher 4, and development is ramping up.
On Thursday, CD Projekt Red shared a blog update confirming that Witcher 4 is entering the pre-production stage.
“We are very eager to revisit the universe which has shaped our history to such an extent,” Adam Kiciński, CD Projekt Red CEO, said. “We have recently concluded the research phase for the first game in the new Witcher saga, which means that from now on, further development expenditures will be capitalized on our balance sheet.”
Keep in mind that this also means the game is undoubtedly many years away from release. Not that you need a reminder, given it was announced barely two months ago. Aside from mentioning that it’ll utilize Unreal Engine 5, CD Projekt Red hasn’t spilled the beans on Witcher 4.
The company is also busy with new-generation ports of Witcher 3, which should be coming out this fall. Please don’t hold your breath on that one, given how many times it’s already been delayed, though. I can scarcely believe that game is over seven years old, but it’s true.
There’s the expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 that CD Projekt Red is knee-deep in too, and a recent leak shows that Keanu Reeves may not have much of a part.
