A job posting for The Witcher 4 hints at an April 2028 release

A job posting by CD Projekt RED spotted by Wccftech contains some interesting details worth noting. To provide a bit of context before getting into the details, co-CEO Michał Nowakowski explained about two months ago that The Witcher 4 is the most ambitious title in the studio’s history. While unable to say more, he did indicate that they are aiming for a 2028 release.
Posted directly on their website, the job listing states the following:
“We are looking for an enthusiastic legal professional to join the Business Law and Intellectual Property department of CD PROJEKT RED’s legal team on a fixed-term contract through April 30, 2028.”
Further details are provided in the job responsibilities:
“Providing ongoing legal advice on matters related to CD PROJEKT RED’s operations, including the licensing of assets, terms of service, communication with players, and the compliance of our products with applicable laws and regulations. ”
Based on this, it seems highly likely that a marketing campaign will end in late April 2028, which would logically coincide with the release of a CD Projekt RED title.
Currently, neither the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 nor the remake of The Witcher appears to be far enough along to warrant a release in April 2028. By deduction, this would therefore likely refer to The Witcher 4.
Furthermore, there's something else that supports this possibility. Setting aside the fact that the first The Witcher ended up being delayed by three months, all other games in the series have been released in the spring (May 2011 and May 2015 for the next two installments). Thus, it seems entirely likely that The Witcher 4 could be released between April and May 2028.
