I reckon we'll probably see a release schedule like this for CD Prokekt's upcoming games, based on how long each has been in development for, the size of the dev teams, the expected size of each project, and the above information that the Witcher 4 team has made the most progress:
2026- Witcher 4 (5 years after it began development in late 2021 I believe)
2027- Witcher 1 remake (5 years after it began development in late 2022)
2028- Witcher spinoff from Molasses Flood (5 years after development on the game was rebooted in March 2023)
2029- Cyberpunk 2 (6 years after it began development in late 2023)
2030- Witcher 5 (CD Projekt previously said that they hoped to release Witcher 5 and 6 with 3 years of development each, by using Witcher 4 tech and assets as base to shorten development time, but even reusing Witcher 4 tech and assets for 5 and 6, 3 years of development feels overly optimistic for modern AAA development, so I went with 4 years)
I think that is their plan, yearly releases, at least for awhile. It is why they have expanded so much and now have 6 different studio locations (3 in Poland, 1 in Vancouver, 2 in Boston) and over 1200 employees, as well as partnering with Fool's Theory for Witcher 1 remake (and probably eventually Witcher 2 remake as well, if 1 remake sells well).
