“THE WITCHER IV” TRAILER

This upcoming game is a successor to “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”, considered one of the most acclaimed games of all time. Our new protagonist Ciri is the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia. In the trailer showcases some of her new abilities, and tools, including a chain and advanced magic powers.

“We’re kicking off a brand-new Witcher saga, this time with Ciri as the heart of the story!” said Sebastian Kalemba, Game Director. “It feels so good to finally be able to say those words — for the longest time we knew that we wanted Ciri to be the protagonist of The Witcher IV; it just felt natural to us and we believe that Ciri deserves it. In this game we want to explore what it means to truly become a witcher. By following Ciri on her Path. This trailer is a taste of both that, and just how dark and grounded the world of The Witcher can be.”
