CD Projekt Red Unveils Details on Forthcoming 'Witcher 4'

The Witcher Saga Continues! 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.

As fans will remember, Ciri is Geralt's adopted daughter. With Geralt's trilogy concluded, the spotlight shifts to the next generation. The trailer depicts Ciri intervening in a village's disturbing ritualistic sacrifice, revealing a far 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, given the early stage of production.

Platform specifics are yet to be announced; however, given the anticipated release timeframe, a current-generation-only release (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is likely. While a Switch port was achieved for The Witcher 3, it seems less probable this time, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.

Although gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements like potions, Signs, and the return of iconic phrases. A notable potential addition is Ciri's chain, used for both combat and magic.

Adding to the anticipation, Doug Cockle (Geralt's voice actor) confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, albeit in a supporting role, possibly as a mentor figure, further fueling speculation.
