We are not going to announce the precise launch date for the game yet. All we could share now to give more visibility to investors is that the game will not be launched within the time frame of the first target for the incentive program, which ends December 31, 2026.
The Witcher IV was officially revealed during The Game Awards 2024 in December with a cinematic debut trailer, which confirmed that Ciri is the lead character for the fantasy-RPG sequel – something which the studio said was the ‘super right choice.‘ The role has also been recast, with Ciara Berkeley now voicing the character.
