The Witcher 4: Despite Nomination, Game Not to be Shown at The Game Awards 2025

The Witcher 4 Not Showcased at TGA 2025; Production in Progress, Release Date Unconfirmed

The Witcher fans awaiting a glimpse of The Witcher 4 at The Game Awards 2025 will be disappointed. CD Projekt co-CEO Micha Nowakowski confirmed that the studio will not showcase The Witcher 4, nor any other game, at this year's ceremony. Nowakowski acknowledged the game's nomination for Most Anticipated Game in a tweet, stating, "Thank you to everyone who has already voted – your support means a great deal to us." However, he clarified, "We will not be unveiling any new content at the TGA this year, but as always, we’re eager to follow the show and celebrate this wonderful evening with our industry alongside you all." Addressing the game's development status, Nowakowski stated, "As we have previously indicated, The Witcher 4 is in large-scale production." He added, "We do not communicate any details regarding the target release date, so there is no specific time I can refer to. The only thing we comment on is that we will not release in 2026. We also do not provide details on technical or design aspects. Nothing unusual is happening at this stage – production is simply following our internal plans."

Unveiling The Witcher 4's Tech Demo with Epic Games at TGA 2025 - Gameplay and Story Details Still Under Wraps

In June of last year, CD Projekt revealed a tech demo intended to showcase the game's visual potential on a base PS5. To clarify, this sequence was not a trailer or a representation of the final game. Instead, it offered "an early look at the cutting-edge technology behind The Witcher 4." The studio explained that the demo "illustrates the robust foundation we’re building in collaboration with Epic Games to push the boundaries of open worlds, as well as the primary systems and features developed with Unreal Engine 5," highlighting technical advancements separate from gameplay and story. Therefore, while The Witcher 4 is progressing according to internal plans, fans should not expect new game reveals at The Game Awards 2025.
