The Witcher IV Revealed at The Game Awards 2024
CD Projekt Red has unveiled The Witcher IV, the first game in the new Witcher saga, with a cinematic trailer at The Game Awards 2024 in Los Angeles. The role-playing game aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.
During this year's The Game Awards, CD Projekt Red announced The Witcher IV, previously known by its codename Polaris. The game, a sequel to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, marks the beginning of a new Witcher saga with Ciri taking on the role of protagonist. "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."
