Right now, aiming The Witcher 4 at 2028. Ciri is set to take over as the lead, and the studio is treating it as the start of a new trilogy, with Geralt stepping aside. He isn’t gone yet, though. CD Projekt Red is bringing him back in The Witcher 3 Remastered and setting up the 2027 expansion Songs of the Past as a farewell in game form before the series turns the page.
Andrzej Sapkowski, meanwhile, is working on another Geralt novel. The manuscript is tentatively expected by the end of 2027, which makes a 2028 release feel plausible. Sapkowski has said Geralt, not Yennefer, remains at the center, even if the timeline is still unknown. There also seems to be more room for prequels after the novel Crossroads of Ravens, which followed an 18-year-old Geralt after Kaer Morhen, and Sapkowski’s own comment on the subject was simple: “the sky is the limit.”
Fans are split, much like they were when Netflix recast Geralt with Liam Hemsworth and season 4 reportedly fell more than 50% from season 2. Even so, the franchise is still huge. CD Projekt Red said the games had sold 90 million copies by May 2026, with 65 million of those coming from The Witcher 3 alone. The books were also reported at 15 million copies by July 2020.
If you follow The Witcher, this is a shift to keep an eye on. For now, The Witcher 3 Remastered is the one you can actually pick up while CD Projekt Red lines up 2028 for Geralt’s goodbye in the games and, likely, his return in the books.
