When will Veo 4 launch? Google hasn't announced it, but history offers strong clues. Google DeepMind releases major Veo versions every 5-6 months like clockwork: Veo 1 in May 2024, Veo 2 in December 2024, Veo 3 in May 2025, and Veo 3.1 in October 2025. This pattern points to the next major version—Veo 4—arriving around December 2025 or May 2026.
Whether Veo 4 arrives soon or Google continues iterating on Veo 3.x, understanding this evolution helps developers and researchers plan ahead. At VEED's AI playground, you can test the latest available models, including Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 today, so you're ready when the next breakthrough lands. Current limitations and competitive pressure hint at what’s next with Veo 4.

Innovation cycles point to the next launch
Veo 1 (May 2024) introduced 1080p video generation. Veo 2 (December 2024) added 4K resolution and improved physics. Veo 3 (May 2025) pioneered native audio with dialogue and sound effects. This aggressive iteration pace—averaging one major release every 5-6 months—suggests Google is pushing hard against competitors like OpenAI and Runway. If the pattern holds, Veo 4 could arrive December 2025 or May 2026.
More natural audio and longer clip generation
Google DeepMind has acknowledged that natural, consistent spoken audio, especially for shorter speech segments, is a challenge they're actively working to improve in Veo 3. Users also report the 8-second clip limit and scene consistency as pain points. These documented limitations, combined with competitive pressure from Sora 2's longer generation times, make them probable focus areas for Veo 4.
Performance leaps to match Sora 2
Google launched Veo 3 with native audio generation in May 2025. Four months later, OpenAI responded with Sora 2's synchronized dialogue and sound effects. This competitive dynamic between Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and others drives rapid innovation across the field. While waiting for official Veo 4 announcements, you can compare how Veo 3.1 performs against Sora 2 on our AI playground to understand the current landscape.
