- The Witcher 4 has been in development for a while.
- CDPR has shared more updates on the title’s development, confirming it’s about to finish its preproduction phase.
- The game will enter full production before the end of 2024.
The Witcher has been one of the most successful franchises for CDPR, and following the success of The Witcher 3, the latest addition to the franchise has very big shoes to fill.
To keep the excitement going, the developers have been updating fans on the RPG’s progress since last year, as it was reported that the team would start working on The Witcher 4 in 2024 with around 400 developers.
Currently, 65% of all the developers are focused on this RPG, and CDPR is nearly done with preproduction.
Why it matters: This update is meaningful since it should lead to a timely release for the next major entry in this massive RPG series.
CD Projekt RED has released its latest earnings report for the first half of 2024, where the team has also given the investors an update on the projects they are working on.
When talking about The Witcher 4, codenamed Polaris, Michał Nowakowski, Joint CEO of CDPR, stated that the team is nearing a major milestone, the end of the preproduction phase.

This will immediately lead to a transition to the full production phase, marking a huge milestone. The milestone should also mean that work on The Witcher 4 will be in full swing before 2024 ends.
It has been stated that 2024 has been busy for CDPR since the team has worked on two major RPGs simultaneously, including the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. The developer hopes to enter the planning phase for this sequel soon.
Ultimately, this is a great time to be a Witcher fan. The next entry will require a few more years before it is ready, but CDPR is expected to deliver stunning results using Unreal Engine 5. Therefore, expectations are quite high for this release.
