Description[]
- The Witcher IV is a single-player, open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri, a professional monster slayer, and embark on a journey through a brutal dark-fantasy world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.
Development[]
At Unreal Fest in June 2025, CD PROJEKT RED revealed a tech demo of the game in Unreal Engine 5. With it, they gave a quick glimpse of Valdrest, a bustling city in Kovir. While the demo was primarily focused on showing the environment and technology performance, it also showed Lan Exeter in the distance, a manticore and — appearing for the first time in a major The Witcher video game — gnomes.
