Earlier, CD Projekt RED confirmed that the next installment of The Witcher will be released in 2028. Now, a new clue regarding the sequel's release date has emerged. CD Projekt RED has posted a job opening for a Legal Counsel within the Business & IP unit of its legal department. The listing specifies that the contract will run until April 30, 2028.
The specialist's responsibilities will include “providing ongoing legal advice on matters related to CD PROJEKT RED's activities, including clearing rights for materials, terms of use, player communication, as well as ensuring our products comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.”
Although the company does not disclose details, it is possible that the vacancy is linked to a marketing campaign for one of its upcoming games, which will conclude at the end of April. Since The Witcher IV is set to be the studio's next major release, with the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel and the remake of the first installment arriving much later, it likely refers to the game about Ciri.
The series' history is cited as an additional argument: The Witcher 2 was released on May 17, 2011, and The Witcher 3 on May 19, 2015. Therefore, May 2028 fits well into the franchise's usual release schedule.
For now, CD Projekt RED's primary focus remains on the Songs of the Past expansion, which is expected in 2027.
