The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated gamers, a first glimpse of Witcher 4 has arrived, introducing Ciri as the protagonist.
As Geralt's adopted daughter, Ciri steps into the spotlight as the Witcher's trilogy concludes. The teaser showcases Ciri intervening in a village gripped by fear, where a young woman is slated for sacrifice to appease a monster. Ciri's intervention reveals a darker truth than initially apparent.
A release date remains elusive. Considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, and the early stage of Witcher 4's production, a 3-4 year wait is likely.
Platform specifics are yet to be announced, but given the expected timeframe, a current-gen-only release (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) seems probable. While a Switch port was possible for Witcher 3, it seems less likely for this installment, though a potential Switch 2 version remains a possibility.
While gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, signs, and magical abilities. A new addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Doug Cockle, Geralt's voice actor, has confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, albeit in a supporting role, fueling speculation about a mentor-like figure for Ciri.
