CD Projekt Red has confirmed a 2028 release window for The Witcher 4 and teased a dark new story expansion for The Witcher 3 titled Songs of the Past.
CD Projekt Red has officially locked in a 2028 release window for The Witcher 4. In a recent video update spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, studio joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski shared that over 500 developers are currently building the project, positioning it as the most ambitious game in the studio's history. While 2028 still feels a few years away, the timeline aligns with recent financial reports and gives the team plenty of runway to deliver on that massive scope.
To bridge the gap until the next mainline entry, the studio is surprising the community with a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3 titled Songs of the Past. Set for a full showcase during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Nowakowski teased that the DLC will feature a characteristically dark story. Naturally, dark fantasy is the studio's bread and butter, even if it rules out any hopes of a surprise karaoke minigame for Geralt.
For a community that has spent years cycling through endless battle passes, live service updates, and cross-platform streaming drops, the return of a massive single-player narrative tentpole feels refreshing. CD Projekt Red has spent the last few years rebuilding immense goodwill with consistent updates to Cyberpunk 2077, so expectations are high for how they handle this next chapter. We will be tracking the full reveal during Opening Night Live to see what Songs of the Past brings to the table.
