The reveal trailer for The Witcher 4 was shared with the public during The Game Awards 2024 and showcased Ciri in a beautifully crafted cinematic.
The footage shows the badass female character taking over her mentor Geralt of Rivia's role in fighting a deformed beast. The reveal of The Witcher 4 mixed what fans love about developer CD Projekt Red's adaptation of the Polish fantasy series.
The Witcher 4 Reveal Trailer
The world of The Witcher franchise features people making cruel and grim choices due to fear of a dangerous world. It also has the titular Witcher trying to bring the world to a point where people have empathy, truth, and justice.
Not much information was shared about The Witcher 4 despite the reveal trailer at The Game Awards 2024. Fans also expect the game to be a few years from coming out but are eager to see how it will take shape moving forward, according to Kotaku.
Before the reveal trailer, CD Projekt Red also confirmed that The Witcher has already entered full production. This came after the end of post-launch development on the studio's other game, Cyberpunk 2077.
The newly revealed game is a sequel to The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, which was an open-world RPG released in 2015. Many people still consider that game one of the best story-driven RPGs in history.
Ciri's Own Adventure
The Witcher 4 game director Sebastian Kalemba said that they have been thinking and talking about Ciri and how she deserves to go on her own journey.
Many people have already theorized that the latest entry in the franchise, previously known as Polaris, would switch perspectives, IGN said.
Ciri is Geralt of Rivia's adoptive daughter, and is effectively the secondary protagonist of the series as well as the original novels. Franchise and lore designer at CD Projekt Red Cian Maher said that The Witcher refers to both Geralt and Ciri.
The last time that fans see Ciri is when she is a young woman trying to face her destiny. But the recent trailer shared at The Game Awards 2024 showcases her in a brand new light where she is a fully-fledged witcher.
One thing that is also noteworthy about The Witcher 4 is that Geralt will be making a return in some form. The classic character is said to be voiced by Doug Cockle, who is the same one that voiced Geralt in the first three The Witcher games, according to Games Radar.
