CD PROJEKT RED reveals The Witcher IV

To kick things off in the first half of The Game Awards, CD PROJEKT RED brought the first big surprise of the show with The Witcher IV. It was only announced a few weeks ago that Witcher IV has entered full production and today we have received a first look at the title with a cinematic trailer.

The six-minute trailer gives a first look at Ciri as the protagonist she takes on a witch contract in a remote village terrorized for generations by a monster demanding ritual sacrifice.

It was also confirmed that The Witcher IV is being developed using customized Unreal Engine 5 technology; the cinematic trailer is pre-rendered in a customer build of Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU.

The Witcher IV is a single-player, open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri and embark on a journey through a brutal dark fantasy world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.
