Guesses on release year?

There was a 4 year gap between Witcher 2 and 3, I'm imagining this will be 4 years of full development too. So late 2025 or summer 2026 (assuming it began development properly last year)

Given that this is just the announcement of the engine they'll use for the game and that they've shown nothing, plus the numerous delays CDP is known for AND the terrible reception with Cyberpunk due to the poor state it was on release, I'd say that we'll see this game between 2028 and 2030.

Yeah, It's more likely that they'll actually have to take their time with this, as Witcher is their pride and joy, and fucking that up with crunch and rushed dev would be a colossal disaster for them. 2028 sounds more reasonable than 2025/6.

let's also hope they don't waste years hyping up a new Witcher game like they did with 2077, which they teased since 2012 all the way to 2020. Actually tease the game when it's at least 1 yr away from release (teasing a game years in advance is a sure fine way to kill my interest).
