It's easy to get caught up with all the negativity surronding the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and forget that CD Projekt Red's success (or lack thereof) and reputation weren't built on one game. The Polish company made a name for itself with the Witcher games, with the latest installment, 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, selling well over 30 million copies as of April 2021.
The success and popularity of the Witcher games also led to the creation of The Witcher TV series, which stars Henry Cavill as the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia.
Now that CDPR has finally started releasing DLCs for Cyberpunk 2077, it appears that the company is starting to apply more resources towards working on a new Witcher game.
When is the release date of the next Witcher game?
Had Cyberpunk 2077 not been released the way that it was, we'd probably hear more about the next Witcher game by now. However, with CDPR devoting more resources to fixing Cyberpunk 2077 while also making sure that it doesn't subject its employees to unfair working conditions, it's safe to say that it will be a while before CDPR announces anything related to Witcher 4.
