CD Projekt Red finally showed new footage of The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 during the State of Unreal 2025 presentation. In particular, the company showed a 9-minute tech demo recorded on PlayStation 5 at 60 fps with ray tracing enabled and a new trailer.
The game's new cinematic trailer doesn't reveal many details about The Witcher 4's plot and story, but it looks pretty good and shows off one of the game's likely enemies.
The tech demo showed Ciri synchronizing with her horse and its realistic movements, down to muscle activity. In addition, the developers talked about world creation and geometry work.
Additionally, the demo showed a city filled with NPCs and Ciri's interactions within the quest, some of which were likely shown in the cinematic trailer.
We remind you that CD Projekt Red first showed The Witcher 4 during The Game Awards in December 2024. At that time, they released the first trailer for the game, which showed Ciri in the lead role for the first time. After that, no details about the game were revealed, but according to rumors, its release is expected no earlier than 2027.
