Hey. For those who had been anticipating or hoping to play The Witcher 4 someday earlier than 2027 regardless of it having not been in full manufacturing all that lengthy, I’ve acquired dangerous information for you. CD Projekt has mentioned that it is not presently planning on releasing the sport earlier than that 12 months on the earliest.
Don’t be concerned, although – it appears like a Witcher or Cyberpunk cellular factor all of us undoubtedly requested for might probably drop within the interim. Effectively, relying on how rapidly a freshly-announced partnership between the writer and Scopely – the Saudi-backed large that now owns Pokemon Go and Monopoly Go – places out the sport primarily based on an unspecified CD Projekt IP that it is now making.
To begin with, this crumb of information about launch timeline presently pencilled in for The Witcher 4 comes from the earnings call CD Projekt performed alongside the discharge of its 2024 financial results yesterday. PC Gamer noticed that at one level through the company chatter, the studio’s CFO Piotr Nielubowicz mentioned concerning the online revenue targets attatched to the corporate’s share-based incentive packages for managers: “Though we don’t plan to launch The Witcher 4 by the tip of 2026, we’re nonetheless pushed by this monetary objective.”
As you’d think about, this was even picked up on by the investy of us and requested about through the Q & A bit of the decision, with Nielubowicz including: “We’re not going to announce the exact launch date for the sport but. All we might share now to present extra visibility to buyers is that the sport won’t be launched inside the time-frame of the primary goal for the motivation program, which ends December 31, 2026.”
So, most likely what we might have anticipated given the sport solely went into full production late last year – not lengthy earlier than the full reveal at The Game Awards that noticed it given its correct title reasonably than the codename it’d ggone by as much as that time, Polaris. There’s time for no less than a number of extra Witcher 3 playthroughs but, even when you might need to dip into REDKit mods to freshen issues up when you’ve logged as many hours in it as I’ve so far.
Although, we’d – and that is a giant may – get a bizarre Pokemon Go or Monopoly Go-ish Witcher or Cyberpunk cellular sport within the interim, with CD Projekt having introduced {that a} partnership with writer Scopely that’ll create “a sport set inside one among CD Projekt’s IPs”. Which IP that’s – one would assume one of many two I discussed earlier – we have been supplied no clue but, nor any extra particulars as to when it could be dropping.
Ah nicely, even when we get nothing, it is extra time to roam the excessive seas round Skellige on the helm of a ship I’ve dubbed The Jankdaw or to wander about as centaur Geralt.
