CD Projekt Red confirms six-year release schedule for new Witcher trilogy

30.11.25 - CD Projekt Red confirms the schedule for the next three parts of the Witcher series in an earnings announcement at the end of November 2025. This is reported by Gamerant.

CD Projekt Red plans to release the announced trilogy within six years. This specification dates back to October 2022, when the studio stated that a new role-playing game series was to be created that would focus on an older Ciri.

The first part (The Witcher 4) has the working title Project Polaris and, like the other games, is based on Unreal Engine 5. According to the announcement, The Witcher 4 has been in the main production phase since November 2024, which is why a possible market launch towards the end of 2027 is considered realistic.

Michal Nowakowski emphasized that all three games will each receive about three years of development time. He held out the prospect that the studio wants to speed up the processes after the release of the first part. The approach envisages fully using the production pipeline of Unreal Engine 5 to take over processes and selected content. Additional efficiency gains such as the partial reuse of cards were mentioned, but are not confirmed, according to the information.

I would believe the Dead rising rumor. They've they've recently remastered the original, and well that doesn't mean that much on its own, for whatever reason, I think it's getting some special priority in listing on GameStop and Amazon. For whatever reason I'm finding it pop up pretty early in my searches when I look at what games are out there.
