The Witcher 4 lead says Golden Joystick win adds pressure to deliver

CD Projekt Red production director Małgorzata Mitręga accepted the Most Wanted Game award for The Witcher 4 at the Golden Joystick Awards 2026, acknowledging the weight of the honor. The game beat out Fable and Resident Evil Veronica for the prize, which was announced before the night's main winner, Resident Evil Requiem.

Mitrega said the award was a huge honor but also a great responsibility. She said the team is working with all their heart, soul, skills, and passion, and called the award a boost for their stamina to deliver the game when the time is right.

The developer is also working on the DLC Songs of the Past, set for release in 2027. CDPR confirmed it used an AI company to touch up the Polish voice of Geralt after actor Jacek Rozenek's voice changed due to a stroke in 2019, but only after receiving Rozenek's approval.
