Perhaps it comes down to budget.  While Cyberpunk skyrocketed in popularity before & after Phantom Liberty, I wouldn't be surprised if that team wasn't honored with as big of an allowance than 'ole reliable Witcher 4.

Looked into it, Culture Crave didn't put the proper information into the tweet. What CD Projekt actually said is that Witcher 4 development is in the most advanced state out of all 4 of their in-development projects, meaning that Witcher 4's development team has made more development progress than the teams working on Witcher 1 Remake, the Witcher spinoff, and Cyberpunk 2.

That is also a bit odd though, one would have expected Witcher 1 Remake to be the furthest along, seeing as there is usually less development workload on a remake than on a brand new game. Maybe they are really going all out of the remake instead of merely improving the graphics and combat, maybe they are expanding the game with new side quests, making the maps larger and open world, rerecording the dialogue/sound effects/soundtrack instead of merely digitally remastering the original audio, etc. Looks like maybe Witcher 4 could release before Witcher 1 remake at this rate.

Ohhh... that makes sense.

Yeah.  Well, similar to what I said regarding Cyberpunk, perhaps Witcher 1's total allowance and amount of workers put towards it is quite slim compared to the behemoth of Witcher 4's development team.
