The Witcher universe just got a massive upgrade! CD Projekt Red has dropped the bombshell we’ve all been waiting for – Ciri is taking the reins in The Witcher 4! The dramatic trailer, unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, didn’t just tease; it roared, clawed, and sliced its way into our hearts, with the iconic adopted daughter of Geralt and Yennefer stepping into the spotlight.
The six-minute cinematic opens with the satisfying swing of blade sharpening and Geralt’s gruff voice delivering some sage-like wisdom. Cue goosebumps. Then enters Ciri, now fully embracing her witcher destiny. From charging through creepy forests to battling beasts that make your worst nightmares look tame, Ciri’s journey is nothing short of legendary. And let’s not forget that killer outfit—practical and stylish for monster slaying.
For the first time, the spotlight is taken away from the grizzled Geralt of Rivia (sorry, buddy) and shifted to a new narrative arc that centers on Ciri. Think fewer bathtub scenes and more adrenaline-pumping monster hunts. Developed with Unreal Engine 5, the visuals are so crisp you might find yourself pausing just to marvel at the details. And yes, expect more emotional turmoil what’s a Witcher game without it?
Fans are abuzz. Social media is already full of theories for what kind of monsters, moral dilemmas, and witcher-school dramas Ciri will deal with. One thing is certain: she’s not here to mess about.
While there’s no release date yet (cue collective sigh), we know one thing it will be worth the wait. For now, dive into the jaw-dropping trailer, grab your silver sword, and prepare for what’s shaping up to be an epic saga.
In The Witcher 4, it’s all about Ciri and we’re 100% here for it. Geralt, who?
