The Witcher Saga Continues! After nearly a decade since the critically acclaimed Witcher 3, a first look at Witcher 4 has arrived, introducing 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 teaser showcases Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a dark ritual, poised to sacrifice a young woman to a monster. Ciri's intervention reveals a far more complex situation than initially apparent.
No official release date has been announced for Witcher 4. Considering the development times of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077 (even longer), and the early stage of production evident in the teaser, a 3-4 year timeframe is a reasonable expectation.
While platforms remain unconfirmed, given the projected timeline, a current-generation-only release seems likely. However, no platform exclusivity has been declared. Simultaneous releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC are anticipated. Unlike Witcher 3's Switch port, a similar feat seems unlikely this time, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.
Gameplay details are scarce, but CD Projekt Red is expected to maintain core gameplay elements. The CGI trailer hints at returning features like potions, Signs, and dialogue. A notable addition appears to be Ciri's chain, used for both combat and magic.
Doug Cockle, Geralt's voice actor, previously confirmed Geralt's involvement, albeit in a supporting role. The teaser includes Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor-like presence.
