In the State of Unreal 2025 showcase, an astonishing demonstration of The Witcher 4 left audiences stunned, showcasing its stunning visuals using Unreal Engine 5.
Set Your Gamerlings Ablaze: The Witcher 4 Unleashed
Excitement brews as CD Projekt RED, the mastermind behind the Witcher saga, sparks our gaming spirits once more with a tantalizing sneak peek of The Witcher 4. Gracing us during the State of Unreal showcase, this technical peek offers a glimpse into how the studio is harnessing the prowess of Unreal Engine 5 to propel the next installment of Ciri's tale.
Fasten your seatbelts, gamers, as we delve into the uncharted territories of Kovir, one of the Northern Kingdoms yet to appear in the Witcher universe. The dazzling technical demonstration showcases the art of motion-matching as Ciri mounts her steed Kelpie, and the breathtaking Nanite Foliage feature, painting lush forests and verdant grasslands, all running seamlessly at a whopping 60 FPS on a standard PS5. Witness the demo yourself here, available around the 28:38 mark in the livestream.
While it's crucial to bear in mind that this demo does not represent gameplay, it's exhilarating to observe CD Projekt RED embracing the cutting-edge technology. Its predecessors, including the much-acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077, were born from CD Projekt RED's in-house REDengine, a cover that has now been shed.
Alas, The Witcher 4 hasn't been gifted a release date, or even a release window, ensuring our excitement remains on simmer. However, with CD Projekt RED confirming that the game won't arrive before 2026, buckle up for an adventure that's at least three years down the line.

To top it off, the team is set to release a final patch later this year, which will introduce universal cross-platform mods for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 players.
