The Witcher IV has yet to attract a release date but CDPR has confirmed it will not see the light of day until after 2026, nor will it be putting in an appearance at The Game Awards later this month. Last month, CDPR revealed during its latest earnings report that the studio has nearly 450 staffers working on The Witcher IV, recently hired a former Warhorse Studios developer, Karl Kolmann, as the game’s senior quest designer.

Unlike the previous entries in the franchise, The Witcher IV will not feature Geralt as the main protagonist, instead having the series reins over to Ciri. In terms of technical achievements, CDPR has said that it is aiming to hit 60 FPS with ray-tracing enabled when running the game on PS5.
