The Witcher 4: CDPR Unveils Latest

The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in Witcher 4

Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated players worldwide, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, shifting the focus to Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter. With Geralt's trilogy concluded, the spotlight now shines on the younger generation.

The teaser depicts Ciri intervening in a village gripped by superstition, where a young woman is slated for sacrifice to appease a monster. Ciri's intervention reveals a far more complex situation than initially perceived.

While a release date remains unannounced, considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077 (even longer), and the early stage of Witcher 4's production, a 3-4 year wait is a reasonable expectation.

Platform exclusivity is also unconfirmed. Given the anticipated timeframe, a current-generation console focus (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) seems likely, though not explicitly stated. A Switch port, unlike Witcher 3, appears less probable, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.

Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, signs, and combat. A notable potential addition is Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.

Voice actor Doug Cockle (Geralt) has confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, albeit in a supporting role, fueling speculation of a mentor-like function for the veteran Witcher.
