During Epic Games' recent State of Unreal 2025 showcase, CD Projekt Red unveiled more of The Witcher 4 and its features in a new tech demo – which included a first look at Ciri's horse Kelpie, a hyper-realistic steed that has left the equestrian community swooning.
It's not often we horse girls get to experience games with realistic mounts – the movement is wonky, the animation is off, and the horses feel like they were implemented with little regard for their real-life counterparts. That's why titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 that feature a semblance of horse realism stand out and attract more than just your average RPG fans, but they're a rarity, and they're admittedly still lacking in many areas.
