A CDPR legal job ad hints at The Witcher 4 release date

A job ad for a lawyer might be the best clue yet about when The Witcher 4 is coming.

CD Projekt Red has already said it is targeting 2028 for the game, but it hasn’t named a month. Now the studio is hiring a Legal Counsel for its Business & IP team on a fixed-term contract that runs until 30 April 2028. The job includes advice on asset clearance, terms and conditions, player communications and making sure its games follow the relevant laws.

That is the sort of work that piles up around a big marketing push and a launch. A contract ending in late April suggests that campaign wraps up around then, which points to a May 2028 release. None of this is confirmed, so treat it as an educated guess.

History backs it up. The Witcher 2 launched on 17 May 2011 and The Witcher 3 followed on 19 May 2015. May 2028 for Witcher 4 would fit the pattern nicely.

Don’t expect much in the meantime. The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion will likely keep the studio busy until it launches next year, so more Witcher 4 news is probably a way off.

Until then, the lawyers apparently know more than we do.
