The Witcher 4 Beta Test Scam: CD Projekt Red Issues a Warning

CD Projekt Red Warns Fans: The Witcher 4 Beta Test Is a Scam!

CD Projekt Red has officially stepped in to debunk rumours of an ongoing beta test for The Witcher 4, confirming that any invites or messages about it are completely fake. As anticipation for the next chapter in The Witcher saga grows, it seems scammers are taking advantage of the hype.

What’s the Scam About?

A fake The Witcher 4 beta test has been circulating online, tricking unsuspecting fans into thinking they’re getting early access to the next big RPG. CD Projekt Red took to social media to address the situation head-on:

“We’ve been taking the necessary steps to take this fraudulent messaging down,” the studio said in a statement posted via Twitter/X. “If you receive any invites to or stumble upon news of one, we kindly ask you to report the scam using the tools available in your email client or social media platform.”

The team cheekily added:
“Professional monster slayers don’t fall for scams—they see right through them and slay them!”

Is The Witcher 4 Even Real?

Absolutely. The Witcher 4—code-named Polaris—is very much in active development. CD Projekt Red first confirmed its existence in 2022. Since the studio wrapped up post-launch updates for Cyberpunk 2077, focus has shifted fully to building the next epic RPG in The Witcher universe.

Confirmed So Far:

• First teaser trailer revealed at The Game Awards 2024

• Ciri will return as the main protagonist

• Estimated release window: 2027

While there’s still a long road ahead before the game launches, CD Projekt Red has made it clear: any real updates will come directly from their official channels.

‍♀️ Why Ciri and Not Geralt?

The decision to pass the torch from Geralt to Ciri is huge, but not unexpected. CD Projekt Red has stated that Geralt’s story arc is complete, and shifting focus allows a new saga to begin with Ciri’s return.

Stay Safe, Stay Updated

If you’re excited about The Witcher 4—we feel you—but steer clear of fake beta invites and suspicious links. Always follow official accounts and announcements from CD Projekt Red to stay informed.

In the meantime, there’s still plenty of time to replay The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or jump into Cyberpunk 2077 while we wait for Ciri’s return to the spotlight.
