The Witcher 4: everything we know so far

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

Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated players, 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 falls on the younger generation.

The teaser showcases 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, a 3-4 year window seems plausible, assuming the project is still in its early stages.

Platform specifics are yet to be revealed, but given the anticipated timeframe, a current-generation console focus is likely. However, no platform exclusivity has been confirmed, suggesting simultaneous releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch port, while possible on a future iteration of the console (Switch 2), seems unlikely given Witcher 3's demanding performance requirements.

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

Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, albeit in a supporting role, fueling speculation of a mentor-like figure.
