CD Projekt Red powerless regarding PS5 disc edition of The Witcher 4, but promises a game box with "feelies" whatever happens

CD Projekt Red, as influential as it is, has said it cannot do anything to guarantee a PlayStation 5 disc-based edition of The Witcher 4 when the game is released in 2028. It is, joint joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski said, at the mercy of Sony's manufacturing factories.

Not content with stealing everyone's attention at Gamescom by unveiling a cheeky extra expansion for a decade-old RPG, CD Projekt Red have decided spend their Monday afternoon locking in the year that The Witcher 4 will be coming out. It's set to emerge from a lake full of drowners in 2028.

CD Projekt Red's CEO still thinks they need to finish their post-Cyberpunk redemption arc, and he's hoping The Witcher 4 will help

I think despite the mess that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, it wouldn't be right to say that CD Projekt Red's reputation was completely tarnished. It is still a game with a lot of cultural relevancy, and nobody can shut up about The Witcher 3 to such a degree that it's even getting a brand new expansion more than 10 years after the last one came out. Even still, it doesn't sound like joint CEO Michał Nowakowski is entirely convinced that the studio has managed to complete its redemption arc.

The Witcher 4 is the work of over twice as many CD Projekt staff as The Witcher 3, in a fresh display of how blockbluster team sizes have ballooned

The Witcher 4 is the work of over twice as many CD Projekt developers as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the company's executives have revealed. That's approximately as many people as worked on Cyberpunk 2077, although naturally, the figure excludes a lot of external or infrequent contributors, such as voice actors.
