CD Projekt Releases Trailer for The Witcher IV

CD Projekt has unveiled the first trailer for 'The Witcher IV' during the Game Awards, with the game set to follow Ciri, the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia. The trailer, rendered using the yet-to-be-released RTX 5090 graphics card and powered by Unreal Engine 5, hints at the game's ambitious graphics but is scripted rather than real-time gameplay. Analysts suggest that the game is in full-scale production and is not expected to release until 2026 or 2027, leaving CD Projekt without a major revenue source for several years. Following the troubled launch of 'Cyberpunk', the studio is cautiously managing expectations, and investor sentiment surrounding the trailer has fluctuated. Early responses to the trailer have been mostly positive, indicating strong interest in the game's development. CD Projekt aims for 'The Witcher IV' to be the most immersive entry in the series to date.
