CD Projekt says development of The Witcher Remake is on hold while the studio works on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Songs of the Past expansion and awaits technological updates for The Witcher 4.

Joint‑CEO Michał Nowakowski said the collaboration with Fool’s Theory began for a remake of The Witcher 1, but the project required additional time because of engine and asset requirements linked to The Witcher 4.

He added that only a limited portion of Fool’s Theory’s team is currently allocated to The Witcher 1, with most staff supporting The Witcher 4 and the Songs of the Past expansion.

Nowakowski said the remake’s development has been temporarily integrated with The Witcher 4’s production to prepare assets, tools and pipelines, and that the majority of the team remains engaged in other projects.

He indicated that no release window has been set and that the remake is unlikely to launch before the The Witcher 3 Remastered, the Songs of the Past expansion in 2027, and The Witcher 4 in 2028.
