CD Projekt Red has officially showcased footage of “The Witcher 4” during the State of Unreal event, highlighting its development in the powerful Unreal Engine 5. Following last year’s cinematic trailer, the new 9.5-minute clip offers fans a glimpse of the game’s potential on the PS5, running at 60fps with ray tracing enabled.
While the footage is described as a “technological showcase” rather than confirmed gameplay, it demonstrates the impressive capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 on standard PS5 hardware. This is a significant achievement, as many developers have struggled to deliver 60fps with ray tracing and good resolution on this engine.
Excitingly, “The Witcher 4” will center on Ciri as the protagonist, marking a shift from Geralt of Rivia. Ciri is now voiced by Ciara Berkeley (“The Deceived”), who takes over from Jo Wyatt, the previous voice actor. In the clip, Ciri explores a town in the land of Kovir, with the game aiming to push open-world RPG technology to new heights.
Additionally, a brand-new cinematic trailer for “The Witcher 4” has been released, offering another exciting look into what’s to come. Stay tuned as CD Projekt Red continues to reveal more about this highly anticipated open-world RPG.
