Fans of The Witcher series have been eagerly anticipating the next installment, and recent developments suggest that The Witcher 4 might arrive earlier than many had predicted. While CD Projekt Red has kept details under wraps, speculation has ramped up following a cinematic reveal at The Game Awards.
Fans Predict a Sooner Launch
For a long time, fans believed The Witcher 4—currently known by its codename Polaris—might not arrive until 2029. However, recent discussions on Reddit have sparked hope that the game could release earlier, potentially within the next few years.
One user, Virtual_Ad3302, pointed out that CD Projekt Red has discussed a shorter advertising campaign for The Witcher 4. “They said in multiple investor calls they wanted a shorter ad campaign, counting reveal to release. Cyberpunk’s was around two years, so The Witcher’s should be around a year to two tops,” the user speculated.
Another fan suggested that 2027 might be a realistic launch year. “I’m gonna say 2027 is the safest bet, probably around May,” shared one Redditor.
This aligns with CD Projekt Red’s earlier statement about completing the entire new Witcher saga within six years. Whether that timeline is still feasible remains to be seen, as game development has grown increasingly complex in recent years.
Lessons Learned from Cyberpunk 2077
It’s clear CD Projekt Red will be cautious with the launch of The Witcher 4. The developer likely wants to avoid the mistakes made with Cyberpunk 2077, which faced significant backlash due to bugs and performance issues at release.
For now, fans can only speculate based on what’s been revealed—a cinematic trailer that sets the stage but doesn’t provide much insight into gameplay or release dates.

For now, fans can look forward to more news as development progresses and enjoy revisiting the rich world of The Witcher series while waiting for the next chapter to unfold.
