CD Projekt Red just confirmed that a new Witcher game is in development, which will kick off "a new saga for the franchise." It has already been revealed that the game will be built using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5, instead of the company's own REDengine. Now, the company has revealed that the upcoming Witcher 4 game will not be an Epic Games Store exclusive.
CD Project Red via the official Witcher Twitter account in a reply to a fan stating that the upcoming Witcher game will not be made exclusive to one storefront. While the studio did say this, it did not list out the platforms where the game will be made available whenever it launches.
We are not planning on making the game exclusive to one storefront.

The speculation of the game being made available exclusively on the Epic Games Store started after the studio announced that the game will be developed using Unreal Engine 5.
It is a bit awkward to see the company move away from its own engine. However, it was speculated that the company would distance itself from the engine, after the major debacle, we know as Cyberpunk 2077.

The studio has not provided us with many details about the upcoming game, but it has released a teaser image of a snow-covered Witcher medallion. The medallion is definitely not from the School of the Wolf, thus hinting at the fact that the game will not feature Geralt. There is speculation, that the game will replace Geralt with Ciri.
As of now, we have no idea as to what to expect from the upcoming game and it will probably be a long wait before we get any solid details. We do expect a number of leaks and speculation to follow, considering that this is a major development for a AAA title.
