The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in The Witcher 4
Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3 captivated gamers worldwide, the first trailer for The Witcher 4 has dropped, introducing Ciri as the new protagonist. This marks a passing of the torch, as Geralt's saga concludes and a new generation steps into the spotlight.
The trailer showcases Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual, poised to sacrifice a young woman to a monster. Ciri's heroic intervention reveals a far more complex and sinister situation than initially apparent.
While no official release date exists, considering the development timelines of The Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year wait for The Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.
Platform specifics remain unannounced. However, given the anticipated release timeframe, a current-generation console exclusive release is likely, although not confirmed. We expect simultaneous launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch port, unlike The Witcher 3, seems unlikely at this point, though a potential Switch 2 version might be feasible.
Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, signs, and combat. A notable potential addition is Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.
Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, though not as the central figure. The trailer features Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor-like role for the veteran Witcher.
