The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in Witcher 4

Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3 captivated gamers, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, shifting the focus to Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter. With Geralt's trilogy concluded, the spotlight shines on the next generation of Witchers.

The teaser depicts Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual, showcasing her determination to prevent a young woman's sacrifice to a monster. However, the situation proves far more complex than initially perceived.

While a release date remains unannounced, 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 exclusivity is yet to be confirmed. However, based on projected release timelines, a current-generation console focus (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is anticipated. A Switch port, while successful for The Witcher 3, seems less likely, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.

Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, Signs, and combat. A notable addition appears to be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.

Voice actor Doug Cockle recently confirmed Geralt's involvement, though not as the central protagonist. The trailer includes Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor role for the seasoned Witcher.
