The analyst who forecasted a Witcher 3 expansion release in 2026 has told me they're "100 percent certain [CD Projekt Red] will release significant new content this year".
UPDATE 4.10PM GMT: CD Projekt Red, for what it's worth, has told me it does not comment on rumour or speculation - the company's usual line.
If a CEO says their company is going to do that something sounds ridiculously unrealistic, or borderline unachievable if you actually take a second to think about it, you can probably assume that this is for the ears of shareholders. With that said, CD Projekt Red recently held a financial call (thanks, IGN), where co-CEO Michał Nowakowski made some comments about The Witcher 4… and The Witcher 5 and 6, all of which are apparently planned to be released within a six-year period. Right!
Cyberpunk 2's dev team is set to grow substantially over the next couple of years, as CD Projekt ramp up development. While most of their ranks right now are on The Witcher 4, a game that's at least made some public cameos even if it's still sans release date, once 2027 rolls around, Cyberpunk 2 looks like it won't be too far behind.
This info comes from the company's latest financial report, covering the time running from July 1st to September 30th this year.
A senior developer who worked on Larian's much loved and critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3 has moved studios, and is now working with Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk studio CD Projekt Red.
CD Projekt Red has reaffirmed plans to release an entire new trilogy of The Witcher games within six years.
Actor Doug Cockle, who is known to many as the gravelly voiced Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red's The Witcher games, has again said he was "sad" to see Henry Cavill step away from the same role in Netflix's series. However, he believes Liam Hemsworth "holds up pretty well" in the show's fourth season.
The touring Witcher in Concert musical performance was a resounding enough success that CD Projekt Red has announced a second tour for Europe next year.
