The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated gamers, a first look at The Witcher 4 has arrived, introducing 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 far more complex situation than initially apparent.
While an official release date remains elusive, 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.
Platform specifics are yet to be announced, but given the anticipated release timeframe, a current-generation console exclusive release is likely. However, no platform has been confirmed, and we expect simultaneous launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch port, unlike Witcher 3, seems improbable at this point, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.
Although gameplay remains unseen, CD Projekt Red is expected to maintain the core gameplay mechanics of the franchise. The CGI trailer hints at returning elements like potions, combat phrases, and magical Signs. A new addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Doug Cockle, Geralt's voice actor, previously confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, though in a supporting role. The teaser features Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor-like function for the veteran Witcher.
