Les producteurs exécutifs ont évoqué dans une interview que le jeu de cartes fait désormais partie intégrante de l'expérience The Witcher (il dispose même de deux spin-off). Ses amateurs peuvent donc dormir sur leurs deux oreilles. Toutefois, on ignore comment cette activité annexe a été remaniée et si elle présentera des divergeances majeures avec celui du troisième épisode. Toujours est-il que les fans, selon CD Projekt, ne devraient pas être déçus.The Witcher 4 : faut-il avoir joué aux précédents ou avoir lu les livres ?C’est souvent la question qui revient le plus : Est-ce qu’on a besoin de lire les livres pour jouer aux jeux ? La réponse était déjà non pour les trois premiers jeux vidéo The Witcher, et ce sera toujours le cas pour The Witcher 4. Depuis la diffusion de la bande-annonce de The Witcher 4, on a pourtant pu voir un partout sur le net traîner des avis s’insurger de Ciri sorceleuse parce que ça ne respectait pas les bouquins de Andrzej Sapkowski. Sauf que, spoiler, CD Projekt n’a pas attendu The Witcher 4 pour s’éloigner de l’univers original. Ces différences entre les jeux et les livres sont déjà repérables dans le nouveau jeu. Dans la bande-annonce, on voit Ciri contrôler la magie élémentaire.

Elle s’installe juste dans un univers déjà conceptualisé. Il faut toutefois dire, qu’effectivement, lire les livres permet d’encore plus apprécier les jeux.

Sign in to your Game Rant account Summary Ciri is confirmed as the protagonist of The Witcher 4. The much-anticipated game's world premiere trailer debuted at TGA 2024. The trailer also marked the first occasion on which CDPR used "The Witcher 4" moniker, as the studio previously only referred to the game as "Project Polaris." Ciri will be the protagonist of The Witcher 4, CD Projekt Red has confirmed. This revelation was part of the game's first cinematic trailer, which premiered at The Game Awards 2024. CDPR first confirmed that The Witcher 4 was in development in March 2022, although it didn't attach an official title to the game. Instead, it merely referenced it by its codename, Project Polaris, a moniker that it has used ever since—until today. Related New The Witcher 4 Details Leak Online New information about The Witcher 4 leaks online, revealing some behind-the-scenes details and the game's tentative release window. The company at last mentioned the words "The Witcher 4" on December 12, as part of the game's world premiere trailer that debuted at the 2024 edition of The Game Awards. With a runtime of over six minutes, the newly shared promo serves as a meticulous introduction to the upcoming RPG's setting. It also confirms its protagonist, Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter who played a pivotal role in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Ciri Is a Full-Fledged Monster Hunter in The Witcher 4 The video shows an older, more experienced Ciri, who now seems to be a full-fledged monster hunter. As such, the trailer seemingly establishes one particular The Witcher 3 ending as canon. Ciri is seen taking on a witcher contract in a rural village terrorized by a not-too-friendly monster hungry for ritual sacrifice, with her task ending about as well as one would expect from a story penned by CDPR, a studio that's not too keen on giving quests happy endings. Reflecting on the TGA 2024 trailer, game director Sebastian Kalemba confirmed that Ciri will be "the heart of the story" in the upcoming RPG. The Witcher 4 World Premiere Trailer Was Likely Pre-Rendered On Nvidia RTX 5090 In a press release accompanying the newly debuted trailer, CDPR confirmed the obvious: the TGA 2024 video was pre-rendered. This was accomplished using a custom build of Unreal Engine 5, the company's engine of choice for the fourth The Witcher game. The developer also revealed that the rendering process utilized an unannounced Nvidia RTX GPU, likely the widely rumored RTX 5090, which is expected to be the crown jewel of the upcoming RTX 50 Series. Nvidia's upcoming lineup of graphics cards is expected to be officially announced at the next edition of CES, which kicks off on

To Geralt, more open to embracing the world around her – part of her struggle in this new adventure will be not only in grappling with ancient nightmares, but the evil which lurks in the people struggling to survive this land.Still, at the heart of it all is the witcher – a mutated warrior skilled in combat and alchemy, slaying monsters which threaten people for a price; only now you'll be able to do it with new combat proficiencies, all of it enhanced with Ciri's ability to deftly wield magic.The Witcher 4 combat(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)In The Witcher 4 you take control of Ciri, not a seasoned veteran but a character just starting down the witcher's path. That'll be reflected in combat encounters in The Witcher 4, where Ciri may not always start with the upper hand in encounters but always have the capacity to gain the upper hand by striking at the opportune moment.You can get a sense of this from the first Witcher 4 trailer, particularly in how the character wields magic (something not typically seen in other witchers out there in the wilds). If you watch the cinematic back closely you'll notice that Ciri is able to seamlessly integrate her abilities into combat, imbuing her with more range, options, and vulnerabilities – CDPR says that this will be at the heart of The Witcher 4 combat experience.The Witcher 4 story(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)CD Projekt RED is yet to reveal the full extent of The Witcher 4 story, but it has framed the new adventure nicely. In this single-player, open-world RPG you will take control of Ciri as the beginning of her monster-slaying career – just as she starts her journey down the witcher's path."We're kicking off a brand new Witcher saga, this time with Ciri as the heart of the story," says Sebastian Kalemba, game director. "For the longest time we knew that we wanted Ciri to be the protagonist of The Witcher 4; it just felt natural to us and we believe that Ciri deserves it. In this game we want to explore what it means to truly become a witcher by following Ciri on her Path."Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega explains that Ciri being so distinct from Geralt also opens up new storytelling possibilities. "She’s open, curious, and drawn to people, yearning for connection and understanding. This opens up uncharted territory in storytelling, where relationships and emotions are just as important as the fight for survival."You get a sense of all of this in the first Witcher 4 trailer, which sees Ciri completing a witcher's contract near the village of Stromford – not only battling an ancient evil in the shadows but encountering evil in a more human form too, where her decision to intervene in old rituals leads to disastrous consequences.The Witcher 4 - Official Behind the Scenes Cinematic Reveal Trailer - YouTubeWatch On During a recent behind-the-scenes trailer for The Witcher 4 (which you can watch for yourself above), we also learned

That there is a new character named Mioni. Mioni is the girl who was set to be sacrificed in the village of Stromford during the first trailer. Although their interaction is brief, Mioni does highlight how the concept of destiny and Ciri rejecting it will play a large role in the upcoming game's story.The Witcher 4 main character(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)Ciri is the main character in The Witcher 4. Geralt's adopted daughter played a pivotal role in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and now that his story has reached its conclusion it's time for a new Witcher to leave their mark on the Continent. CD Projekt RED is keen to note the differences between the two characters, with story director Tomasz Marchewka explaining:"On one hand, she’s very similar to Geralt, a continuator of his values – honorable, brave, just, but she also has this side we haven’t explored much – grim, rebellious, and fierce. She’s familiar, but at the same time she’s fresh. And she’s simply a badass."The studio says that there was never any doubt that Ciri would become the protagonist of The Witcher franchise.Marchewka says that "from the very beginning we knew it had to be Ciri – she's a very complex character, and there is so much to be told about here." Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega adds: "Ciri is a worthy successor to the title of the next Witcher, and personally for me she always has been!"The Witcher 4 open world(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)The Witcher 4 is going to be a single-player open-world RPG. Developer CD Projekt RED believes it'll be the "most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date." With a new protagonist comes a new open-world to explore, and the studio is already teasing out a far darker fantasy world.You should expect The Witcher 4 to offer up a world that is more dangerous and unpredictable than the one we experienced alongside Geralt, "a world where the old order is crumbling, and dark forces are seizing their chance to rise." The studio adds: "In this world, survival depends not only on your skills in combat, but also on the connections you make with those around you, for better or worse."The Witcher 4 choice and consequences(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)Expanding on this darker open-world concept, narrative director Philipp Weber says that: "The world of The Witcher 4 is a place full of moral ambiguity, and so the stories we tell there rarely provide easy answers of good and evil. Make your choices, and live with the consequences.""Ciri's story is a battle against destiny. This battle comes at a price that will have to be paid eventually – either by Ciri, or by those dear to her. Your actions within the open world, the people you permit to come close to you, all have the potential to affect the path Ciri goes down on, and who she will become."The Witcher 4 engine(Image credit: CD Projekt RED)CD Project RED is using Unreal Engine 5 to
