CD Projekt Red sets Witcher 4 release for 2027 amid Songs of the Past DLC
CD Projekt Red announced that the expansion "Songs of the Past" for The Witcher 3 will launch in 2027 and will serve as a technical testbed for the studio. Analysts expect the follow‑up title, Witcher 4, to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2027, with projected sales of 18‑25 million copies in its first year.
The company plans to shift its development pipeline to Unreal Engine 5, a move viewed by investors as a way to accelerate production. Noble Securities noted a volatile reaction in CD Projekt’s share price after the DLC announcement but said the schedule for Witcher 4 remains unchanged.
Voice actor Doug Cockle shared a studio photo on X confirming he is recording lines for the upcoming expansion, signalling that production is in an advanced stage.
