CD Projekt Red confirms The Witcher 4 (Project Polaris) has entered full-scale production, marking a major milestone in the game’s development.
CD Projekt Red has delivered an exciting update for fans eagerly waiting for The Witcher 4, officially codenamed Project Polaris. The upcoming game marks the first installment in a brand-new Witcher trilogy and is shaping up to be one of the studio’s most ambitious projects yet.
As of several weeks ago, “the Polaris team wrapped up preproduction and moved on to full-scale production – the most intensive phase of development,” said Michał Nowakowski, Joint CEO of CD Projekt, as part of the latest quarterly earnings report.
“Project Polaris – the first instalment in the new Witcher trilogy – has progressed to full-scale production. I’m proud to confirm that several weeks ago the Polaris team wrapped up preproduction and moved on to full-scale production – the most intensive phase of development.
“We are very pleased with our progress on this project, and I wish to thank the team for its dedication.”
Adding to the excitement, Game Director Sebastian Kalemba shared a heartfelt message on X (Twitter), along with an image of a coin from the Witcher universe. He wrote:
“I’m thrilled to announce that Project Polaris has entered the full-scale production phase! 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.
“No stopping now! Stay tuned for what’s on the other side of the coin!”
While fans might be tempted to get new details on The Witcher 4’s release date, CD Projekt Red has made it clear that we shouldn’t expect any release date before 2025.
In the same segment, the Polish developer also confirmed that its critically acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold 30 million copies since launch, with the Phantom Liberty expansion selling over 8 million copies.
