The wait for The Witcher 4 remains immense, even if the RPG will not be released before 2027. Since the trailer unveiled during the Game Awards, official information has been rare. However, CD Projekt Red has already distributed free content related to the game. These bonuses do not take the form of a demo or a surprise DLC, but they remain official and accessible now.
Official wallpapers available for free
Since December 2024, CD Projekt Red has offered several The Witcher 4 wallpapers on its official website. In total, seven visuals are available for free download. They highlight different environments from the game world, as well as certain characters and creatures. Each image displays The Witcher 4 logo at the bottom center. Many fans expressed their excitement. “I put the first one on my desk as soon as it came out,” one user wrote. Another added: “They are beautiful, thank you!”. Other comments simply praised the visuals with reactions like “Fantastic!” or even “Incredible!”.
Content that went unnoticed after the Game Awards
The posting of these wallpapers coincided with a particularly busy period for the franchise. The trailer presented during the Game Awards attracted all the media attention. In this context, these free downloads may have taken a back seat. However, they are still available on the CD Projekt Red website. Although official updates regarding The Witcher 4 remain limited, the studio has confirmed that the game will not be released until 2027. Rumors and speculation continue to circulate, but no specific date has been announced yet.
A simple way to wait before the RPG release
These wallpapers are obviously not a substitute for a new trailer or gameplay presentation. However, they offer fans a discreet way to stay connected to the game universe. The Witcher 4 will be developed under Unreal Engine 5, marking a new technical milestone for the franchise. Even if few images have been officially released, the visuals offered give an overview of the atmosphere and artistic direction.
For those who have been following the series since The Witcher 3 or the television adaptations, these free bonuses are a small touch while waiting for more substantial announcements. The wait remains long, but the studio continues to maintain interest around the next chapter.
