The new saga launched by The Witcher 4 will take up a major challenge, but its studio wants to give everything to do better than on its previous games.
To the chagrin of many fans of the flagship franchise of CD Projekt Red, Geralt de Riv will no longer be at the heart of the intrigue in The Witcher 4. It will be Ciri, his adoptive daughter, who will take up a flambe heavy with meaning, which is more as a full -fledged witch. The young woman already central in the novels of Andrzej Sapkowski and in The Witcher 3 will become even more in this suite. In an interview with Revenant, the director of the games of the game, David Cordero, explains the means put in place by the Polish studio to make Ciri as emblematic as the white wolf, if not anymore.
Ciri has a heavy torch to take over in The Witcher 4
With many novels and three video game adaptations to his asset, Geralt de Riv has been placed over time as an iconic main protagonist, even for people who have never read books, played with games or watched the Netflix series. The old witcher, however, needed to take a well -deserved retirement after Blood and Wineand it is Ciri who in turn takes the way in The Witcher 4.
For CD Projekt Red, everything is therefore to be redone to establish Ciri as a primary and as striking protagonist as Geralt. The Polish studio even wishes to give it even more importance in The Witcher 4 that it already had in the previous works of the Dark Fantasy universe. To do this, David Cordero explains that the studio goes in particular draw inspiration from the work accomplished on Cyberpunk 2077 et Phantom Libertyon which man already held the same position, and still perfect it. Namely a important emphasis on cutscenes with a striking staging and a more advanced exhibition of the universe of the game.
The goal of CD Projekt Red will not be fair to Show how Ciri is a worthy heiress of Geralt’s teachings, but also place it in a coherent way in history and the universe What does the Witcher 4 have to present a new main character in time is indeed not easy, and we are very curious to see what the adventures of Ciri will give as a witchcraft, and especially what it is in terms of narration, gameplay and visually with the help of the Unreal Engine 5. Unfortunately, it will be necessary to wait at least until 2027 or 2028 To discover it all.
