The Witcher saga continues! Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated players, CD Projekt Red unveils the first trailer for The Witcher 4, starring Ciri as the protagonist.

Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, takes center stage as the Witcher 3 trilogy concludes. The teaser showcases Ciri intervening in a village's disturbing ritualistic sacrifice, hinting at a complex narrative. The situation proves far more intricate than initially anticipated.

A release date remains elusive. Considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, and the early stage of Witcher 4's production, a 3-4 year wait is a reasonable expectation.

Platform exclusivity is unconfirmed, but given the anticipated release timeframe, a current-gen focus (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is likely. While a Switch port was possible for Witcher 3, it seems less probable this time, though a potential Switch 2 release isn't entirely out of the question.

Gameplay details are scarce, but the CGI trailer suggests familiar elements like potions, signs, and combat. A new addition might be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.

Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's involvement, though not as the central focus. His presence in the trailer fuels speculation of a mentor role.
