The Witcher 4, thanks to Ciri's story, allows us to explore themes that were not possible with Geralt, according to CD Projekt Red
After a spectacular announcement at The Game Awards 2024, CD Projekt Red is actively working on The Witcher 4, a game that is set to become the most ambitious and ambitious project in the series' history. For the first time, Ciri will be the main character, which opens up a completely new perspective on the Witcher's world and its future for players.
Here's What We Know
The Witcher 4 will be the beginning of a new saga in the universe, and it's not just a change of the main character. According to CD Projekt Red CFO Petr Nelubovic, the choice of Ciri as the central figure is a logical and organic step for the development of the series. The developers are confident that her story allows them to reveal topics that were not possible with Geralt in a new way.
Players will find the familiar, but even more brutal and dark world of the Continent, where Ciri is just beginning her journey as a monster hunter. Her youth and openness to the world allow us to make the gameplay and story more personal and emotional, and the system of choices and consequences will become even deeper. Ciri, unlike Geralt, doesn't just fight monsters - she's looking for her place in a crumbling world and faces her own fears and ancient nightmares.
The developers promise that The Witcher 4 will be the most exciting and ambitious open world in the series, with an improved combat system, new magical abilities for Ciri, and even more space to explore.
The storyline revolves around Ciri's first steps as a witch: she signs a contract in the village of Stromford, encounters an ancient evil and, at the same time, the darkness of human souls. The developers hint that the theme of fate and its denial will be key to the new story, and every decision of the player will have a significant impact on the world and characters.
