CD Projekt Red has announced plans to reveal more about its hotly anticipated RPG The Witcher 4 during an upcoming showcase. Earlier today, the studio confirmed it would demonstrate "innovative technology powering The Witcher 4 and future projects" at Epic Games' State of Unreal presentation tomorrow.
First Potential Gameplay Reveal
Epic's keynote begins tomorrow, June 3, at 9:30 AM ET with a livestream available online.
Last year's State of Unreal event featured Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra from Uncharted director Amy Hennig, suggesting CDPR's segment could offer our first look at actual visuals beyond last year's CGI teaser. Fans speculate whether we'll see genuine gameplay footage.
Next-Gen Technology Focus
"We're looking forward to showcasing some of the innovative technology & features that will power The Witcher 4, and beyond."
The studio's mention of technology extending "beyond" The Witcher 4 raises intriguing possibilities. Developers might tease future Witcher saga installments or even preview Cyberpunk 2, both being developed on Unreal Engine 5.
A New Era Begins
The upcoming sequel marks a fresh chapter for the franchise, shifting focus from Geralt to his adopted daughter Ciri. Veteran voice actor Doug Cockle recently defended this narrative direction, urging critics to "read the original books" that inspired the games.
Stay tuned tomorrow for IGN's coverage of State of Unreal 2025, featuring what may become our first proper look at The Witcher 4's gameplay. No promises on monster slaying gameplay just yet, but expectations are running high.
