At The Game Awards, CD Projekt made a surprise appearance to unveil the highly anticipated game previously referred to as The Witcher 4 or codenamed Polaris until now?
The revelation of the game’s entry into full production came shortly after the writer announced that the next Witcher installment was entering the manufacturing stage, as part of CDPR’s latest financial report released late last month. As our primary source of concrete information, these earnings calls provide valuable insights into the sport’s progress since its inception, marked by the iconic image of a snow-covered medallion, which has been repeatedly scrutinized by millions of observers.
Taking to the stage alongside CD Projekt, Keighley has unveiled a stunning trailer built in Unreal Engine 5, harnessing the power of an undisclosed GeForce RTX GPU technology. The breathtaking visuals showcase incredible footage with extraordinary lighting effects, introducing Siri as the enigmatic new Witcher.
In a hauntingly vivid preview, Ciri’s unyielding determination to protect those around her is showcased as she navigates the treacherous realms of fantasy and paranormal activity. Her increasingly frequent and intense visions of the astral world continue to plague her, with no signs of abatement since the events of Wild Hunt.
Meet the Trailer
The highly anticipated The Witcher IV, a forthcoming single-player open-world RPG, is being developed by CD PROJEKT RED, the esteemed studio behind the critically acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, according to the trailer’s narrative summary. “Celebrated RPG sequels kick off with a fresh narrative arc as Ciri steps forward as the protagonist, charting her own course in a thrilling adventure that hones her skills as a formidable monster hunter.”
With the revelation that we’ll be playing as Ciri in the game, a theory many had entertained even before Geralt actor Doug Cockle hinted that the star of each Witcher game up to now would be “an element” of the game, but not the primary focus. He has since been publicly reprimanded for his actions.
Without Gerry, another character that had been hinted at being part of The Witcher 4 was Branko, whose existence was revealed through the CV of actor Jake Lampert, listing his credits in Star Wars: Andor and EastEnders on Highlight, a UK-based casting website.
Why not revisit the thrill of The Witcher 3 with a mod that transforms Geralt into a centaur when he blows a massive horn?
