The Witcher 4 is CD Projekt Red’s next big game, but the developer is already looking to a much more distant future. After the titanic development of Cyberpunk 2077, the company’s plans appear to have been defined well in advance.
It is true that The Witcher 4 It’s still a long way off and we don’t have many details about when it will be released, but CD Projekt Red ventured to talk about The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6. When will we have the next trilogy in the legendary saga?
The Witcher 4 marks the beginning of a new adventure and now, the company’s co-CEO, Michał Nowakowski, took the opportunity to answer questions among fans of the saga. There is good news, It won’t be long before we see the remaining two installments.
At a CD Projekt Group conference, the executive highlighted that The development team has been using Unreal Engine 5 on The Witcher 4 for “almost four years” and is “very happy with what we achieved.” This should also facilitate the development of subsequent games.
And the point is that The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 should have a “shorter, more predictable cadence” in their development. Therefore, we could have all three games in the trilogy within six years. In other words, if The Witcher 4 was released in 2026-2027, we would have The Witcher 6 in 2032-2033… supposedly.
“In some ways, yes, I think more games should be delivered in a shorter period of time; as we had said before, Our plan is still to release the entire trilogy over a period of six years.so yes, that would mean we plan to have a shorter development time between The Witcher 4 and The Witcher 5, between The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 and so on,” Nowakowski noted.
Of course, this is all just a theory, but the truth is that CD Projekt was the one who spoke about the matter. The information is official, so we can be more certain than a rumor or statement from an insider would give us.
There’s still a long way to go, so we’ll have to wait. For now, Geralt’s voice actor talked about The Witcher 4 and Ciara Berkeley’s dubbing, he believes that “she will do a great job”. Are you looking forward to seeing Ciri in action as a solo protagonist?
