The Witcher 4 may have entered its "most intensive" production phase but it won't be gracing your whirring machinery any time in the next year or two. During a financial call for people in suits with lots of money, the developer said they were hoping to give shareholders value for money, "even though we do not plan to release The Witcher 4 by the end of 2026." Basically confirming what you probably could've guessed anyway: there's no plan to bring the RPG sequel out before 2027.

Apple's forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are capable of shooting 8K video, up from the current maximum 4K capture resolution on the iPhone 16 series, a Chinese leaker has today suggested.
