3 hours 26 minutes ago by Alex Novichenko

CD Projekt has announced that The Witcher 4 (codenamed Project Polaris) is now in full production, marking a key milestone for the next entry in the Witcher series. Game director Sebastian Kalemba confirmed the move from pre-production and praised the team’s dedication.

Currently, 400 of CD Projekt’s 650 developers are working on Polaris, slightly down from 410 in July 2024. The game is expected to innovate beyond The Witcher 3, with Geralt returning but not as the central character. A release is anticipated no earlier than 2025.

With new challenges just around the corner, it’s the talented and hard-working people who make me believe we can together make the upcoming Witcher Saga a remarkable experience.
