The Witcher 4 Officially Unveiled, Ciri Stars as Protagonist

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, the announcement of The Witcher 4 has sent shivers down my spine and left me utterly exhilarated. I vividly remember the captivating tale of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3, an experience that still ranks among the greatest stories ever told in video games.

2022 saw CD Projekt RED initiate work on the next installment of The Witcher series, code-named Project Polaris. Just last month, they confirmed the project was fully underway in production. Now, this long-awaited game has officially and formally been revealed to the public.

During The Game Awards, CD Projekt unveiled a six-minute cinematic preview for what appears to be “The Witcher 4”. This upcoming action RPG will feature Ciri as the lead character, a role she played significantly in “The Witcher 3” as well. The trailer depicts Ciri venturing into a village plagued by dangerous creatures, attempting to prevent a gruesome sacrifice, and battling a terrifying monster under cover of night.

As a gamer, I noticed that the trailer I just watched seems to be pre-rendered, utilizing footage powered by Unreal Engine 5. What caught my attention was the fact it ran smoothly on an as-yet unnamed NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card. Despite not showing actual gameplay, CD Projekt RED mentioned in their press release that the trailer incorporates assets and models directly from the game itself.

Game director Sebastian Kalemba announced the commencement of a fresh “Witcher” series, with Ciri as the main character. It’s a satisfying moment for him to reveal this, as they’ve long desired to make Ciri the lead in “The Witcher 4”. To them, it seemed fitting and she deserves it. The game aims to delve into what it truly means to be a witcher by following Ciri’s journey. This trailer offers a glimpse of both this exploration and the grim, realistic world of “The Witcher”.

At this moment, no details regarding the launch date or platforms for “The Witcher 4” have been disclosed. However, as previously mentioned, it is set to kick off a brand-new trilogy.
