The Witcher 4 - Everything You Need To Know

The Witcher 4: A New Dawn for the Witcher Universe

Here is everything we need to know about The Witcher 4, the confirmed sequel to the critically acclaimed RPG series by CD Projekt Red.

The Witcher 4 is the working title for the next game in the Witcher franchise, which is based on the novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The game will be the first installment of a new trilogy, following the adventures of a new protagonist in the dark fantasy world of the Continent.

The game is currently in pre-production, which means that the developers are still working on the concept, story, and design of the game. The game is expected to be released in 2025 or later, as CD Projekt Red has stated that the game will require at least three years of development.

The game will be built on Unreal Engine 5, a powerful game engine that can create stunning graphics and realistic physics. This is a major change from the previous games, which used CD Projekt Red’s own REDengine. The switch to Unreal Engine 5 is part of a strategic partnership with Epic Games, the creators of the engine and the Fortnite game.

The game will feature a story-driven open-world RPG, similar to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game will have a complex narrative that will be influenced by the player’s choices and actions. The game will also have a dynamic weather system, a day-night cycle, and a variety of monsters and quests to explore.

The game will not feature Geralt of Rivia, the iconic witcher and the main character of the previous games. Instead, the game will introduce a new witcher, who belongs to the School of the Lynx, one of the factions of monster hunters in the Witcher universe. The School of the Lynx is known for its stealthy and agile fighting style, and its medallion is shaped like a cat.

The game will also have a new setting, as the game will take place in a different region of the Continent than the previous games. The game will explore the lands of Zerrikania, a mysterious and exotic country that is located in the south-east of the Continent. Zerrikania is known for its harsh deserts, ancient ruins, and exotic creatures, such as dragons and basilisks.

The game will also have new characters, both allies and enemies, that will interact with the new witcher. Some of the characters that have been rumored or speculated to appear in the game are:

• Ciri, the princess of Cintra and the adopted daughter of Geralt. Ciri is a powerful sorceress and a witcher-in-training, who has a special connection to the Elder Blood, a source of ancient magic. Ciri was last seen in The Witcher 3, where she became a witcher herself and embarked on her own journey.
• Vesemir, the oldest and most experienced witcher of the School of the Wolf, and the mentor of Geralt. Vesemir is a wise and loyal friend, who has survived many battles and hardships. Vesemir was last seen in The Witcher 3, where he sacrificed himself to save Ciri from the Wild Hunt, a group of spectral riders that pursued her.
• Zoltan Chivay, a dwarf and a friend of Geralt. Zoltan is a cheerful and adventurous companion, who has a knack for finding trouble and treasure. Zoltan was last seen in The Witcher 3, where he helped Geralt in his quest to find Ciri and defeat the Wild Hunt.
• Dettlaff van der Eretein, a higher vampire and the main antagonist of the Blood and Wine expansion of The Witcher 3. Dettlaff is a powerful and ancient being, who can transform into a giant bat-like creature. Dettlaff was last seen in The Witcher 3, where he was either killed or spared by Geralt, depending on the player’s choice.

The Witcher 4 is one of the most anticipated games of the future, as it promises to deliver a new and exciting experience in the Witcher universe. The game will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, and will be compatible with VR devices. The game will not be an Epic Games Store exclusive, and will be available on other platforms as well.
