Franchises with a huge following will draw attention whenever there is news, and unfortunately, that does not exclude any nefarious attempts to make use of that interest. There will always be people looking to benefit nefariously. For fans looking forward to CD Projekt Red‘s upcoming The Witcher IV, a new threat has surfaced that you need to watch out for.
This warning comes amid a growing number of reports from fans claiming to have received invitations to a supposed early beta test for The Witcher IV. However, these invitations are nothing more than elaborate scams. With the game still in early development and not expected to launch until 2027 at the earliest, these fraudulent messages are being used to deceive unsuspecting fans.
While it remains unclear what the full intent behind the scam is, whether it’s an attempt to steal personal data or something more malicious, the situation is definitely something that the developers have to address.
In an official statement shared via their Twitter/X account, CD Projekt Red firmly stated that all current invitations to a The Witcher IV beta are fake. The studio stressed that they are taking proactive steps to stop the spread of this scam and protect their fan base.
The developer further reassured fans that should there ever be an official beta phase for The Witcher 4, it will be publicly and transparently announced across their official social media platforms and website. Any legitimate opportunities to participate will be clearly communicated through these trusted channels.
In short, CD Projekt Red urges fans to remain vigilant and sceptical of any unsolicited messages regarding beta access to The Witcher IV. For now, there is no official beta underway, and any claims to the contrary should be treated as fraudulent. Good things come to those who wait, as the saying goes, so always be sure to be patient and careful.
