As much as it pains me to say it, The Witcher 4 is likely still several years away from release having only recently entered development after a lengthy pre-production phase.
The Witcher 4 is, of course, only a colloquial title.
CD Projekt RED hasn’t actually confirmed the game’s name, simply referring to it as the next instalment in The Witcher series.
It’ll follow on from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but the game is set to star a new protagonist and kickstart a new trilogy.

In the meantime, a delightful little release is on the way in the form of a comic book collection.
The Little Witcher will reunite Ciri and Geralt in May of 2025.
Created by Del Rey Books and Penguin Random House, and with illustrations by Giada Carboni, The Little Witcher centres around a young Ciri being raised by her monster-slaying dad Geralt.
ICYMI: Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch very soon on 31 October. Take a look at the game in action below.
Naturally, The Little Witcher has been made with younger readers in mind, so this could be a nice way to introduce the little ones in your life to the world of one of your favourite video games.
So too though is The Little Witcher an enjoyable “light hearted take” on the franchise for fans of all ages.
“Young Ciri’s extensive training at Kaer Morhen, the witchers’ stronghold, includes everything she needs to learn to survive the many threats in her world . . . as well as all the antics and fun of a little girl bonding with her adoptive dad and family,” reads the synopsis.
“With help from Geralt and Ciri’s closest companions - including the motherly magic of Yennefer of Vengerberg and the wisdom of uncle Vesemir - these adorable tales of a non-traditional family will make you laugh, make you sigh, and make you realise that raising a Little Witcher is not that different from raising any other kid.”
It continues, “Sure, bedtime stories might include warnings of monsters who fart when surprised, and Geralt might invoke the Witcher Code to get Ciri to brush her teeth or clean her room, but even the formidable White Wolf knows to surrender when it comes to bedtime battles or Afternoon Tea with the toys.”
The Little Witcher is available to pre-order now, with a hardback edition costing $16 in the US or £12 in the UK.
