Overview of Upcoming Developments in The Witcher 4
- Adam Badowski from CD Projekt RED confirms that The Witcher 4 will explore Ciri’s journey to witcherhood.
- The newly unveiled trailer showcases Ciri as the main character, prompting discussions about potential lore discrepancies.
- Although Geralt will return, Ciri will be the protagonist in The Witcher 4, marking a significant shift in focus.
CD Projekt RED’s Adam Badowski recently announced that The Witcher 4 will delve into how Ciri embarks on her path to becoming a witcher. Fans had raised concerns regarding her ability to pass the Trial of the Grasses prior to the game’s setting. Badowski reassured that the narrative will clarify these uncertainties.
Unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, the cinematic trailer provided an exhilarating glimpse into the upcoming installment. It confirmed Ciri’s role as the main protagonist, a transition away from the legendary Geralt of Rivia. The trailer portrays Ciri as a witcher, but given the established lore, only a few women have undergone and survived the Trial of the Grasses, which raises intriguing questions. This apparent contradiction seems to present an opportunity for CD Projekt RED to expand the Witcher universe through a compelling narrative in The Witcher 4.
Exploring Ciri’s Path to Witcherhood
Dear, if you’re wondering how Ciri may be on the path as a witcher, well, there’s the story of the Witcher IV to tell that tale. A huge thank you for the respect and love for the lore created by Andrzej Sapkowski. Hugs!🖤 pic.twitter.com/514FAvXcfu — Adam Badowskiâš¡ï¸ (@AdamBadowski) December 13, 2024
The trailer’s release only intensifies speculation among fans, particularly regarding the timeline in which the game is set. Recently confirmed details indicate that Geralt will indeed make an appearance, although the specifics of his character arc remain unclear. With Ciri at the forefront, it seems unlikely that Geralt will take on a major role, especially considering how The Witcher 3 concluded his storyline nearly ten years ago.
Currently, there is no confirmed release date for The Witcher 4. The game’s development was first announced in 2022, with full production commencing only recently. Although the trailer has generated excitement, it appears that fans may have to wait a while before they can explore this new chapter of the Witcher saga.
