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 new protagonist.
Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, takes center stage as the older generation's story concludes. The teaser showcases Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual, highlighting her heroic nature and hinting at a complex narrative. The situation quickly escalates, revealing a deeper, more sinister threat than initially apparent.
While a release date remains unannounced, considering the development times of previous titles (Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077), a three-to-four-year timeframe seems plausible. Given this, Witcher 4 is likely to be a current-generation console exclusive, anticipated for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch release, while possible on a future iteration of the console, seems less likely.
Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer suggests a familiar feel with returning elements like potions, combat phrases, and magical Signs. A new addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both combat and magical applications.
Geralt's presence has been confirmed by voice actor Doug Cockle, though his role remains unclear. The teaser hints at a potential mentor-like relationship with Ciri.
