The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, starring Ciri as the protagonist.
Picking up after Geralt's trilogy, the spotlight shifts to his adopted daughter. The teaser shows Ciri intervening in a village gripped by superstition, where a young woman is about to be sacrificed to a monster. Ciri's rescue attempt reveals a far more sinister situation than initially apparent.
While no official release date exists, considering the development times of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year timeframe for Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.
Platform exclusivity remains unconfirmed. However, a next-generation-only release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC is anticipated, given the likely development timeline. A Switch port, while successful for Witcher 3, appears less likely, though a potential Switch 2 version may be considered.
Though gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements like potions, Signs, and combat. A new addition might be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Geralt's return has been confirmed by voice actor Doug Cockle, though his role remains unclear. The trailer includes Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor-like presence.
