Gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipating fresh glimpses of CD Projekt’s next-gen epic, The Witcher 4, will need to temper their expectations this holiday season. Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski has confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel will not make an appearance at The Game Awards this year. However, all eyes can now turn to Exodus, the ambitious sci-fi RPG from Archetype Entertainment, which has officially announced a new trailer reveal on December 11th.

CD Projekt Manages Witcher 4 Expectations

Despite being nominated in the Most Anticipated Game category for The Game Awards 2025, CD Projekt has made it clear that The Witcher 4 will remain under wraps for the upcoming awards ceremony. Michał Nowakowski took to social media to thank fans for their support regarding the nomination but firmly stated, "We won’t be bringing any new content to TGA this year." This news comes after the title's cinematic reveal trailer premiered at last year's show and a "hugely impressive" Unreal Engine 5 tech demo captivated audiences in June.

With an estimated launch not before 2027, the development timeline for The Witcher 4 is extensive. CD Projekt’s latest financial reports indicate a robust team of 447 individuals are currently dedicated to the project, underscoring its central focus within the studio. Fans hoping for an earlier reveal may need to look towards The Game Awards 2026 as a more probable venue for significant new content. Furthermore, CD Projekt also clarified that its Cyberpunk 2 sequel is still in foundational stages, with staff ramp-ups underway, positioning it even further down the release pipeline.

Exodus Takes Center Stage with New Trailer Reveal

While The Witcher 4 steps back, Exodus is poised to steal the spotlight. The official Twitter page for the sci-fi RPG confirmed a brand-new trailer is set to debut at The Game Awards on December 11th. This reveal offers a significant moment for Archetype Entertainment, the studio behind Exodus.

Archetype Entertainment was founded by industry veterans James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn, all formerly key figures at BioWare. The project is further bolstered by the publishing power of Wizards of the Coast. Details about Exodus have been scarce, making this upcoming trailer a crucial first look for a game that promises to blend deep storytelling with innovative sci-fi role-playing. Gamers and industry watchers alike will be tuning in to see what this intriguing new title has in store.
