The Witcher 4's cinematic reveal trailer was an indulgent six-minute-long saga in which Ciri, the new protagonist of the series, went on a sidequest.

It begins with someone getting into a bath, only this time it's not Tub Geralt. It's a young woman being prepared for a ritual while her father narrates about how he watched her grow up. That's intercut with footage of Ciri, a character we watched grow up, though we don't see her face. She's using the igni sign to light a fire—possibly burning some herbs to prepare a potion with. Ciri continues to prepare by sharpening a sword, one that looks like the silver version of Zireael seen in the ending of The Witcher 3 where Ciri follows in Geralt's footsteps.
