The Witcher 4 is coming after Cyberpunk 2077, but it will be a while

Good news for all fans of games, books, or the recent The Witcher TV show on Netflix: there's more to come. CD Projekt RED has revealed that a fourth The Witcher game is in development and will be the studio's next project after the highly anticipated RPG Cyberpunk 2077, which is set to release later this year. In an interview with Polish-language site EuroGamer, CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński confirmed that another Witcher game was already in the early stages of development. We used help from Google Translate here, so it shouldn't be taken literally, but the statement is more or less equivalent to: "We've already worked on another solo game. We've come up with a relatively clear concept that's waiting to be developed. That's it." starting to happen, even if we don't want to spend time right now." He added that work on the new title would properly start "immediately after the completion of work on Cyberpunk 2077." Kiciński also confirmed that the new game would not be called The Witcher 4, suggesting that it would not be a direct sequel to The Witcher 3, or could focus on a different main character (Ciri, perhaps?). Given the wide range of character customization options in Cyberpunk 2077, we may even see a freer narrative experience, rather than The Witcher-inspired games of yesteryear.

spit and polish

We know that the Polish developer has submitted Cyberpunk 2077 to age-rating agencies around the world, suggesting that the game is nearing completion. That's a good thing, as the game has already been delayed beyond its initial March window, to September of this year, and we wouldn't be too happy to have to wait any longer. Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be an extremely ambitious game and should push the limits of the current generation as well as next generation hardware like the Xbox Series X. We will probably have to wait a few years to see The Witcher 4 (or its name) hit the market . consoles, although the PS5 and the new Xbox console seem like their likely destinations.
