The game will be released after The Witcher 4
CD Projekt RED President and CEO Adam Kiczynski has revealed that The Witcher remake will only be released after The Witcher 4 (codenamed Polaris) because it will take advantage of the technology and tools developed for the new numbered entry in the series.
This is a consequence of how we think about this project. I think The Witcher Remake will be heavily based on Polaris technology, so it will be developed partly in parallel with Polaris, but once Polaris is launched everything for Polaris will be in final form and the technology will be used in the remake.

The Witcher 4 will be the first game created by CD Projekt RED on Unreal Engine 5. The Witcher Remake will be developed by Fool’s Theory, founded by former CD Projekt RED employees, but CD Projekt RED is expected to back the project.
CD Projekt Red said this week that the remake will be an open-world game, as opposed to the original game, which was more linear.
It was previously reported that The Witcher 4 will be released in 2025 at the earliest.
