CD Projekt has officially revealed The Witcher 4 with a cinematic trailer showing the new protagonist (but old series mainstay) Ciri intervening as a village maiden is sent off to sacrifice. Geralt's adopted daughter is the new main character, a decision CDPR says was already on the cards during the development of Wild Hunt, and the game's intended as "a new beginning" for the fantasy RPG series.
PCG's Evan Lahti had the chance to sit down with game director Sebastian Kalemba and executive producer Gosia Mitręga after the launch of the new trailer and, Ciri herself aside, one of the topics is the game's production. CDPR has been teasing The Witcher 4 for years under the codename Polaris, and recently announced it had entered full production, but managed an actual surprise with the timing of the trailer: Hey maybe we won't be waiting until 2028 for this thing.
