CD Projekt have screened the first trailer forThe Witcher 4, the next instalment in their fantasy monster-slaying series. It’s another single player open world RPG, andThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Ciri is the protagonist. In fact, she’s the protagonist for a whole new Witcher saga, though there’s a tease at the end of the footage that crusty old Geralt may return as well.

Revealed at the Game Awards just now, The Witcher 4 video is both a showcase for the engine technology, “pre-rendered in a custom build of Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU”, and a demonstration of the kind of quest you might encounter in the game, which looks to follow squarely in The Witcher 3’s bootprints.
The trailer also shows off a few of Ciri’s tools, including Witcher spells and a chain-hook weapon you’ll seemingly use to stop monsters darting about, readying them for your silver sword.
Ciri won’t just be the star of this game: she’ll helm the next few Witcher games, according to game director Sebastian Kalemba.
For clarity, The Witcher 4 is the project previously codenamed Polaris. CD Projekt haveplenty other irons in the fire. What do you make of it all?
