CD Projekt Purple has formally unveiled The Witcher 4, beforehand recognized by its inside undertaking codename Polaris, and it will star Geralt’s ward Ciri as she embarks on her personal Witcher Path.
The cinematic reveal trailer for The Witcher 4 was proven throughout yesterday’s Recreation Awards, the place we additionally obtained reveals for the likes of Okami 2, the brand new Naughty Canine sport, and co-op survival spinoff Elden Ring Nightreign.
Within the trailer, we see Ciri taking up a witcher contract to dispatch a monster “demanding ritual sacrifice”, as CD Projekt Purple says. A villager makes an attempt to cease her going after the lady who has been chosen for sacrifice, however she angrily retorts that it wasn’t the gods who selected the lady, however the villagers themselves.
We see Ciri enterprise into the forest the place the monster lives, dispatching it in a sometimes Witcher-esque fight scene that feels very weighty and heavy.
She returns to the village with the monster’s head, whereupon the lady from the start of the trailer apparently dies in her father’s arms. The villagers say they solely needed the lady to “go to the gods”, whereupon Ciri responds that “there aren’t any gods right here, there are solely monsters”.
All of it appears to be like like sometimes riveting, sometimes grounded Witcher stuff, and it is good to see Ciri taking Geralt’s function because the protagonist, particularly on condition that she appears to be a much less indifferent and extra fiery Witcher than he was.
In an announcement put up, CD Projekt Purple says the trailer was pre-rendered utilizing “a customized construct of Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU”, presumably referring to the mooted 50 sequence, which has but to be revealed.
Final month, CDPR stated manufacturing on the brand new Witcher sport was ramping up, so its announcement throughout yesterday’s Recreation Awards makes a number of sense.
The studio is promising “probably the most immersive and impressive open-world Witcher sport to this point”, however we nonetheless haven’t got a launch window for it but, sadly. We’ll seemingly have to attend some time for more information, so watch this house.
