CD Projekt RED has fully revealed The Witcher 4, <\/em>their new follow-up to the award winning The Witcher <\/em>trilogy.<\/p>\n

The Witcher 4 <\/em>is in development for Windows PC and consoles, though a release date and release platforms are still not confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re kicking off a brand-new Witcher saga, this time with Ciri as the heart of the story!\u201d said Sebastian Kalemba, Game Director. \u201cIt feels so good to finally be able to say those words \u2014 for the longest time we knew that we wanted Ciri to be the protagonist of The Witcher IV; it just felt natural to us and we believe that Ciri deserves it. In this game we want to explore what it means to truly become a witcher by following Ciri on her Path. This trailer is a taste of both that, and just how dark and grounded the world of The Witcher can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here’s a rundown on the new sequel, plus the reveal trailer:<\/p>\n

During this year\u2019s The Game Awards, CD PROJEKT RED offered a first look at The Witcher IV, previously known by its codename Polaris. The game, a successor to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt \u2014 considered one of the most acclaimed games of all time \u2014 marks the beginning of a new Witcher saga with Ciri stepping into the role of the protagonist.<\/p>\n

In the nearly six-minute trailer, viewers were introduced to Ciri, the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia, as she takes on a witcher contract in a remote village that has been terrorized for generations by a fearsome monster demanding human sacrifices. Framed as a short, self-contained Witcher story, the trailer showcases Ciri\u2019s new abilities and tools, including a chain and advanced magic powers.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the trailer is Ciri\u2019s perspective as an outsider to the village. As the villagers say goodbye to one of their own \u2014 a young girl they are preparing for a traditional ritual sacrifice \u2014 Ciri chooses to intervene. Aiming to slay the beast and save the girl at the same time, Ciri finds herself at odds with the prejudices and superstitions of the people she tries to protect, leading her to confront a painful witcher lesson: that monsters come in all forms.<\/p>\n

The Witcher IV is a single-player, open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri and embark on a journey through a brutal dark fantasy world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
