The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, starring Ciri as the protagonist.
Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, takes center stage as the next generation of Witchers steps into the spotlight. The trailer depicts Ciri intervening in a village's ritualistic sacrifice, revealing a darker, more complex situation than initially apparent.
While an official release date remains elusive, considering the development timelines of The Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year window seems plausible, placing the release several years in the future.
Platform specifics are yet to be announced, but given the anticipated timeframe, a current-gen-only release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC is likely. A Switch port, while successful for The Witcher 3, appears less probable, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.
Though gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, combat phrases, and magical Signs. A new addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's involvement, albeit in a supporting, non-central role. His presence in the trailer suggests a potential mentorship for Ciri.
