The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the acclaimed release of The Witcher 3, the first trailer for The Witcher 4 has dropped, introducing Ciri as the new protagonist.
Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, steps into the spotlight as the older generation's story concludes. 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 wait for The Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.
Platform specifics are yet to be announced, but a current-generation-only release (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is anticipated. A Switch port seems unlikely, though a potential Switch 2 version remains a possibility.
Although gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements like potions, combat phrases, and magical Signs. A new addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both combat and magic.
Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's involvement, though not as the central focus. His presence in the trailer suggests a potential mentorship role.
