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

Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter, steps into the spotlight as the older generation's story concludes. The trailer depicts Ciri intervening in a village's disturbing ritualistic sacrifice, hinting at a darker narrative than initially apparent.

While no official release date exists, considering the development times of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year timeframe for Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.

Platform specifics remain unannounced, but given the anticipated release window, a current-generation console focus (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is likely. A Switch release seems less probable, though a potential Switch 2 port remains a possibility.

Though gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer hints at familiar elements: 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. The trailer suggests a possible mentor role for Geralt, fueling speculation amongst fans.
