The Witcher 4 will run on Epic's Unreal Engine 5, rather than CD Projekt Red's own REDengine, which was used for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 among other titles.

So for this project, for sure, we need some extra effort to deliver. There is a need of some extra work making this technology viable for huge, open-world, story-driven games. This is the first project to be released on the new engine, Unreal 5. In response to a question about the development timeline of the new trilogy, CDPR president Adam Kiciński explained that 'for Polaris, we are preparing technologies. In a Q&A withinvestors earlier this year, developer CD Projekt Red has essentially confirmed that we shouldn't expect a Witcher 4 release date before 2025. Release date The Witcher 4 release date is probably a long way off So basically, TL DR it seems like, no, the game won't be called The Witcher 4. So I think it’s time for some guns, androids, and some ammo.” “For the past ten years, the team has been working on swords and castles and medieval Slavic monsters. Iwinski went on to say at the time that The Witcher series “deserves some rest”, or at least the team needs a change. We have invested enormous funds into promoting it, and it’s a very strong brand.” We have full rights to The Witcher games. But please consider us as rational people, we sometimes have weird ideas but overall our thinking is very rational. We invested 15 years of our lives in it and a lot of money. “The Witcher was designed as a trilogy and a trilogy cannot have a fourth part, can it?” said Iwinski. That was merely an echo of a similar comment made in March 2017 by CD Projekt Red co-founder, Marcin Iwinski, during a CD Projekt Red investor call.

This does not mean, of course, that we will leave the world of The Witcher,' said Kiciński in an interview with Bankier. 'The first three 'Witchers' were by definition a trilogy, so we simply could not name the next game 'The Witcher 4'. Back in 2018, CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński basically confirmed that the game won't be called The Witcher 4 too, so you can pretty much count on the fact that this new Witcher game will be something a little different.
