The Polish studio CD Projekt Red officially announced a new chapter in the Witcher saga, unveiling a teaser for the highly awaited Witcher project. The image focuses on the emblem of a witcher school glowing with eerie eyes, set against a snowbound landscape. The full title remains under wraps for now, so fans have colloquially called it The Witcher 4, while the teaser carries the message that a new saga is beginning.
Details from CD Projekt Red remain sparse. No plot points or central characters have been disclosed, and it is unclear whether Geralt of Rivia will return as the lead or if players will craft their own Witcher from scratch. The studio has stated that the next Witcher will move away from its REDengine roots and transition to Unreal Engine 5, signaling a shift toward a modern open-world experience.
Rather than a simple licensing move, CD Projekt Red entered into a collaborative agreement with Epic Games. The partnership aims to tailor the Unreal Engine for expansive, open-world action role-playing games. This strategic shift is described as a way to conserve resources and shorten development cycles, freeing more attention for game systems, storytelling, and side content rather than heavy engine work.
Release timing remains undisclosed, and platform specifics are expected to come later. There is confidence among fans that the new Witcher will appear on PC, with other platforms to be confirmed as development progresses, aligning with expectations for a broad, next-generation audience.
