CD Projekt has expanded its Witcher 4 development team to 513 developers and entered the "most intensive phase" of production. The studio plans to release three new Witcher games over six years with no expansions, departing from The Witcher 3's post-launch content model. A third Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, co-developed with Fool's Theory, was delayed from 2026 to next year to improve quality and will skip last-gen consoles. Witcher IP revenue rose 36% to PLN 44.7 million in Q1 2026; The Witcher 3 has surpassed 65 million lifetime sales.
