The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated gamers, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, starring Ciri as the protagonist.
Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, steps into the spotlight as the older generation's storyline concludes. The teaser showcases Ciri intervening in a village's disturbing ritualistic sacrifice, revealing a complex situation far beyond initial appearances.
While a release date remains unannounced, considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year wait for Witcher 4 seems plausible. Given the early stage of production, a concrete release year is currently unavailable.
Platform exclusivity hasn't been confirmed, but given the projected timeline, a current-generation console focus is expected. PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC releases are anticipated, but a Switch port, unlike Witcher 3, seems unlikely, though a potential Switch 2 version remains possible.
Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, signs, and combat. A new addition might be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's presence, albeit in a supporting role, potentially as a mentor figure, fueling speculation based on dialogue snippets in the trailer.
