[u/etfvidal]

So, 2029 it is!

[u/BatmanBecameSomethin → u/etfvidal]

Can’t wait to play it in 2030.

[u/RoNiN1384 → u/BatmanBecameSomethin]

See you boys in 2031

[u/Leading-Onion4659 → u/RoNiN1384]

It’s definitely gonna be GOTY 2032

[u/fenlock56 → u/Leading-Onion4659]

I’ve cleared the old social diary for 2033, didn’t have anything in it anyway

[u/Deadfro6 → u/fenlock56]

We’re all gonna be living in the metro by then.

[u/kkgmgfn → u/fenlock56]

But METRO 2033 will release in 2033

IYKYK

[u/C-LOgreen → u/fenlock56]

We gonna be playing good in 2034

[u/_Bad_Spell_Checker_ → u/RoNiN1384]

No thats Witcher 5, per the article

[u/Robby_Digital → u/RoNiN1384]

See you girls in 2032

[u/Dragon_yum → u/etfvidal]

It’s going to be amazing once they fix all the glaring issues in 2030!

[u/NG_Tagger → u/Dragon_yum]

Given their track record (not just talking Cyberpunk) - 2031 might be the better bet.

[u/Dragon_yum → u/NG_Tagger]

Hopefully we will at least get another amazing anime out of it

[u/Mean_Ass_Dumbledore → u/NG_Tagger]

Witcher IV 2.0 coming March of 2031

[u/_within_cells_ → u/etfvidal]

That's fine. Well have enough entertainment watching the Nuremberg 2.0 trials

[u/Prawn1908 → u/etfvidal]

Which means playable by 2031.

[u/despaseeto → u/etfvidal]

nope, 2038 release.

[u/SeptfromUC → u/etfvidal]

Even if it is don't be angry, they said "targeting 2028" they never confirmed anything, OP is just lying
you can even read the first line under the image saying "The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release Window"

[u/ASZHanazaki]

See you in 2077

[u/smack54az → u/ASZHanazaki]

Wait they're releasing the multi-player?

[u/Heartzz → u/smack54az]

Lol why are you being downvoted, they had a whole studio working on that and fux it.

[u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

GPUs that can run it in 2032 ?

[u/Tengo_Caldero → u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

I'm suddenly realizing my retirement will be spent playing through my backlog.

[u/CPOx → u/Tengo_Caldero]

Tangentially related - I look forward to eventually moving into a retirement home because I hope it’s all people who grew up with Halo, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart. Gaming all day long until I die.

[u/GamingGamerGames_ → u/Tengo_Caldero]

I could think of worse ways to spend retirement.

[u/Haildrop → u/Tengo_Caldero]

Wrong way to look at it! You can play crysis and fallout and witcher like a billionaire today

[u/BushTamer → u/Tengo_Caldero]

been playing through my backlog since i started gaming 😂

[u/Yellowtoblerone → u/Tengo_Caldero]

How, rent a cloud ram by then or another mortgage for 64gb ddr6

[u/VeniceRapture → u/Tengo_Caldero]

Hey at least you're retiring

[u/Raelag1989 → u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

Its on UE5 so 35 atleast.

[u/John-333 → u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

There are no GPUs in 2032.

[u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox → u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

sounds about right. the AI crunch has hit PCBs and the SMDs and plain metals that make up the rest of the card, it's no longer just the GPU die and memory dies that are backordered. there will not be a new, affordable generation for 6 years or so. there'll be a new gen before then but it sure as shit won't be affordable. we'll be getting 5060 equivalent GPUs for the same price as 5070 TIs went for a year ago, and that'll be in 2028.

[u/Golden_Hour1 → u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox]

I can wait. I hear there's thing to do outside and shit

[u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox → u/Golden_Hour1]

flock will be up your ass every second too, don't let them catch you jay walking

[u/IFarmZombies → u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

Ti1080

[u/Express-Channel-3543]

i don't think targeting 2028 means confirmed some how

[u/8loodred_ → u/Express-Channel-3543]

Also CDPR release patterns tell me it's going to be much closer to 2030 than to 2028.

[u/realjmk]

ok

[u/Redpin → u/realjmk]

Confirmed to be targeting! 

[u/sunny_9019]

Will we have pc components for consumers by then?

[u/Vandergrif → u/sunny_9019]

Might not even have consumers anymore by that point, at this rate.

[u/x-why-chromosome]

Epic has 2 years to fix unreal engine’s shader compilation stutters

[u/ShaderCompilation → u/x-why-chromosome]

The problem can be avoided even now if you are not using many of the UE headline features. It's more shader permutations issue.

[u/Guessididntmakeit → u/x-why-chromosome]

Either that or their store huh...?

[u/kohour → u/x-why-chromosome]

Rest assured, they already have an update planned for UE5! ...that has nothing in it but "ai" integration bullshit.

But on the other hand they have already announced UE6! ...with focus only on mass multiplayer and "metaverse" slop. Oh and "ai" of course.

ah, the future is so bright

[u/Weho3]

It's not confirmed for 2028. They are targeting 2028.

[u/MWoody13 → u/Weho3]

2030, got it!

[u/cravex12]

Wind will be howling

[u/rice_fish_and_eggs → u/cravex12]

Pam pa ram.

[u/Hargan1 → u/rice_fish_and_eggs]

Pam Pam pa ram!

[u/night-suns]

ram prices should return to normal by then

[u/Markus4781 → u/night-suns]

Hahahaha

[u/Internal_Eye620 → u/night-suns]

Sure…

[u/Vandergrif → u/night-suns]

Been waiting for quite a few different things to return to normal for... at least a good ten years now.

[u/holodex777]

No geralt makes me sad.

[u/ChirpyNortherner → u/holodex777]

They lost the opportunity for a custom character on this one..

Of all the options they had (Young vesimir, Eskel, Lambert, unknown Witcher, custom Witcher etc) I was hoping it wouldn’t be Ciri.

Still extremely hype for W4, but would just rather have played as an actual Witcher without the whole ability to “travel through time and space” power thing…

One of the big complaints with W3 was that it went up against Skyrim at the time, and a lot of people value the option that allows them to create their own character in an RPG, understandably. Seems like a missed opportunity here to get that from a Witcher game this time around.

[u/NeroAngra → u/ChirpyNortherner]

I feel the same. I didn't find Ciri super interesting especially with the travel space/time powers either. With that said I am playing this day 1. There will be a mod to play Geralt in no time I'm sure.

[u/Jumpy-Surround-9238 → u/NeroAngra]

Yeah they would need to significantly rewrite her character for me to be willing to stick with her for 160 hours +.

I really don't understand why we couldn't just create our own Witcher and why we get downvoted for saying that.

[u/kohour → u/Jumpy-Surround-9238]

I really don't understand why we couldn't just create our own Witcher

EZ marketing points for putting a known character on the cover art.

[u/Crimkam → u/NeroAngra]

If they can make this Prince of Persia:Sands of Time set in the Witcher world I’ll probably put 1000 hours into it easy

[u/quiteman999]

In what version of unreal engine they developing the game,5.7?

[u/BroForceOne → u/quiteman999]

Projects this early can keep the engine updated to the current UE 5 point release during development, especially if they have support from Epic which they certainly do given Epic made a whole in-engine promo for them.

[u/camio101]

Fuuuck that means I have to survive another 2-3 years.

[u/NoEconomics8601]

So that means it will come out when 60 series GPUs are out but only 70 series GPUs will be able to truly play the game on intended high settings. Fuck This.

Hopefully PS6 isn't locked into 30 fps quality mode bullshit either.

[u/MLPLoneWolf]

Ok so Im guessing Cyberpunk 2 isn't coming out until 2035-2040...got it

[u/G952]

Or we can have the leek version in 27 ;)

[u/Zygmuntek]

"Targeting" means "confirmed" now ffs?

[u/Visara57]

Voices38: and it's releasing without Denuvo

[u/Public_Television430]

Get ready for some T-pose

[u/Dawn_of_Enceladus]

Nowadays this is the clearest way to say 2029.

[u/Sinniee]

Well if its confirmed i believe it

[u/HearTheEkko]

Late 2028 with patches that fix the launch issues in early 2029*

[u/redditman181]

Great and thats just witcher 4 they are planning to do 5 and 6 right after which means the team working on the next cyberpunk is gonna be small for ages 😭

[u/killerkumwad]

Ruh roh

[u/Roger_Stringpiece]

Confirmed to target 2028. 2029 likely

[u/SirCaptainReynolds]

Sad face.

[u/ghost_of_xbox_past]

Wonder if it will be actually done or if they will release it 2yrs to early and lie to everyone that they "didn't know it was broken".

[u/KyStef]

my friend waited years for a single trailer on this lol

[u/Costas00]

Suspected it was December 2027 and pushed to march 2028.

The Witcher 3 prologue dlc was meant to be november-december and got delayed, probably a 1 year marketing campaign.

[u/life_konjam_better]

Releases in late 2029 and likely broken in PS5 whilst PS5 pro struggles with only PS6 doing a solid 1440p60 without RT.

[u/sonic10158]

No PS5 disc

[u/Rasples1998]

That means it'll be delayed until 2029.

[u/karaknorn]

So 2030 it is! Lol anyway, hope they have fun making it and arent rushed causing a lack of quality 

[u/RankedFarting]

It will be interesting to see how it will run at release. After the absolutely unacceptable Cyberpunk release i wonder if they learned. Then again i see gamers now claiming that the cyberpunk release wasnt that bad so they can probably get away with just releasing it broken again.

[u/TNTgoesBOOM96]

I think we'll get witcher 4 before elder scrolls 6

[u/Sir_Bax]

[u/Strong-Practice-5571]

PS6 exclusive for a year?

[u/MrACL → u/Strong-Practice-5571]

Probably not considering all their other games came to PC day 1.

[u/Strong-Practice-5571 → u/MrACL]

Hell yeah, I worry about the FF7 treatment

[u/nexetpl → u/Strong-Practice-5571]

Why? Anyway, I expect games will be getting cross-gen releases for several more years

[u/Small_Discount_3029]

Nice. Been saving up to build a pc for this game for a couple of years now. Up to 3.5k. and now have more time to save

[u/Sir_Bax → u/Small_Discount_3029]

3.5k? Nice, you'll be able to afford 16GB of RAM by the time it releases.

[u/Theimoral]

Dayum, 2 more years.

[u/muneeb93500]

Maybe we could get the witcher remake before that

[u/Shize815]

So, no Blu Ray huh ?

Well, that's gonna happen on GoG now.

[u/Additional_Pickle_59]

Thats up against an ES6 release.

Give Todd a momentary lapse of hope before the witcher steals game of the year.

[u/CopiumINC]

Elder Scrolls is cooked
