The Witcher Remake Put on Hold; Development To Resume After The Witcher 4 Launch

Expert Verified By

Fans Will Have To Wait A Bit Longer For Witcher Remake Now!

Story Highlight
  • The Witcher Remake is waiting for The Witcher 4 before major development continues.
  • CD Projekt Red appears to be prioritizing The Witcher 4, saying that the remake will use the foundations laid down by this title.
  • Developer Fool’s Theory is also currently working on the upcoming The Witcher 3 DLC.

CDPR has multiple projects in its pipeline currently, including the upcoming DLC for The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4, which will both launch in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

However, the team is also working on a remake of the original Witcher title. This game has not been seen in a while, and in a recent interview, the studio has confirmed that the project is currently on hold.

Why it matters: The Witcher Remake was previously postponed and expected to launch in 2028. However, the game is unlikely to meet this target now.

The Big Remake Won’t Be Coming For A While

According to a report, The Witcher Remake has been put on hold for now. Developer Fool’s Theory is still leading the remake, but it is said that CDPR does not want this remake to move too far ahead before the next mainline Witcher entry sets the foundation.

The Witcher Remake is waiting on The Witcher 4 before development continues. This decision is mainly tied to the technical side of things, with Fool’s Theory hoping to use the groundwork laid by The Witcher 4 for the remake.

Note that the studio is also working on The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past DLC while assisting with The Witcher 4.
