The Witcher 4, starring Ciri, was announced at the Game Awards

Fans of the Witcher series are in for a treat Game Awards 2024 In Los Angeles – A six-minute trailer reveals The Witcher 4, prominently featuring adult Ciri, the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia.

Geralt is not found in the trailer, which does not mean that he is not in the game. But Ciri will take center stage in the game as the protagonist, CD Projekt Red noted in a report press release. Although there wasn’t any gameplay in the trailer, it focused on the details of the Witcher games: using steel and silver swords with some magic (along with a new chain weapon) to take down horrific monsters.

While Studio CD Projekt Red described the trailer as a short story, suggesting that it may not represent the game’s plot, it showed themes likely to reflect the game: a young village girl is prepared for a ritual sacrifice to a local monster, which Ciri steps in to kill. But when she returns to the villagers, she finds the girl dead amid calls to the gods – to which the white-haired witcher angrily tells her: “There are no gods here – only monsters.” goosebumps!

Although gameplay was not shown, the studio noted that the trailer was produced using assets and models from the game itself. CD Project Red also teased that it was built in Unreal Engine 5 on an “unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU.”

CD Projekt Red has not announced any release date or indication of when the game will be released, nor what platforms it will be released on.
