The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in Witcher 4
Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated players, the first trailer for The Witcher 4 has arrived, introducing Ciri as the new protagonist. As Geralt's adopted daughter, Ciri steps into the spotlight as the older generation's saga concludes. The teaser depicts Ciri intervening in a village's disturbing ritualistic sacrifice, revealing a far more complex situation than initially apparent.
While an official release date remains elusive, considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year wait for Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.
Platform specifics are yet to be announced, but given the projected release window, a current-generation console exclusive is likely. However, no platform exclusivity has been confirmed. Simultaneous releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC are anticipated. A Switch port, unlike Witcher 3, seems improbable, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.
Gameplay details are scarce, but CD Projekt Red is expected to maintain the core gameplay mechanics of the franchise. The CGI trailer hints at returning elements like potions, dialogue choices, and magical Signs. A potentially new addition is Ciri's chain, used for both combat and magic.
Adding to the anticipation, Doug Cockle (Geralt's voice actor) confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, though not as the central focus. The trailer includes Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor role for the seasoned Witcher.
