The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in Witcher 4
Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3, 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 falls on the younger generation.
The trailer depicts Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual, poised to sacrifice a young woman to a monster. Ciri's intervention reveals a far more complex situation than initially apparent.
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 window seems plausible, given the early stage of production.
Platform exclusivity is yet to be confirmed, but given the anticipated timeframe, a current-generation-only release (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is likely. While a Switch port was possible for The Witcher 3, it seems less feasible for this iteration, 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 confirmed Geralt's involvement, albeit a supporting role, suggesting a mentor-like presence for Ciri. The trailer itself features Geralt's voice, fueling speculation about his role in the narrative.
