What could still change

  • 2028 is a planned window, not a date.
  • No platforms have been announced. The reveal trailer was pre-rendered on an unannounced NVIDIA graphics card, so it doesn't point to any platform.

How we check this date

Checked on 12 November 2026. We check again after each CD Projekt results release and showcase. We only change the date when one of these official pages does. See our methodology for how we source figures.
