The Witcher video game series has brought together many fans around the world, and the latest installment, The Witcher 3, was a true masterclass. Released in 2015, the RPG won over gamers who hadn't yet immersed themselves in the thrilling plot based on the universe imagined byauthor Andrzej Sapkowski. Since then, fans of the saga have regularly watched for news of a potential Witcher 4, scrutinizing announcements from CD Projekt Red, the development studio that popularized the franchise.
OnMonday March 21, 2022, a press release confirmed the saga's return. As to whether we'll actually see Geralt de Riv again, that's the question: those who have completed The Witcher 3 will know that there is reason to doubt it, as the adventures of the sorcerer came to a close on what seems to be a period. It therefore seems unlikely that there will be a sequel to this storyline. In this press release, unveiled by a wolf school medallion half-covered by snow (a reference to the white cold?), CD Projekt Red announced the beginning of a new saga.
This Friday, December 13, 2024, a first trailer for the game unveiled at the Games Awards reveals more! It suggests that the new The Witcher saga will revolve around another iconic character from The Witcher 3: Ciri. That's right: in one of the endings of the last opus, Geralt de Riv's adopted daughter took her turn on the Path and became a sorceress.
We already knew that the next The Witcher will run on the Unreal Engine 5. Now we learn that Cintra's heiress will be at the heart of this revival, scheduled for release in 2026.
