Elsewhere in the same session, the team also confirmed that the new sword shown in the Songs of the Past artwork holds story significance.

What’s Next

Beitzel also addressed the long-delayed cross-platform mod support, saying the team is still working on it and that it is coming, although there was nothing new to share. The feature was originally slated for 2025 before being pushed to 2026.

The Witcher 4 is now in full production and is set to star Ciri, while Songs of the Past is scheduled to launch in 2027 ahead of it.
