Witcher 4: The Latest News and Updates

The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated players, a first look at The Witcher 4 has arrived, introducing Ciri as the new protagonist.

Recall Ciri as Geralt's adopted daughter? With Geralt's trilogy concluded, the spotlight shifts to the next generation. The teaser depicts Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual—sacrificing a young woman to appease a monster. Ciri's intervention reveals a far more sinister plot.

No official release date exists for Witcher 4. Considering the development times of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077 (even longer), and the early stage of Witcher 4's production, a 3-4 year wait is likely.

While platforms remain unannounced, given the projected timeline, a current-generation-only release (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) seems probable. Unlike Witcher 3's Switch port, a similar feat for Witcher 4 appears less likely, though a potential Switch 2 release is possible.

Though gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: potions, Signs, and combat. A notable addition may be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.

Voice actor Doug Cockle (Geralt) previously confirmed Geralt's presence in Witcher 4, albeit in a supporting role, not as the main focus. The teaser includes Geralt's voice, fueling speculation of a mentor-like function.
