Witcher 4 Promises to Delight Book Fans, It’s Said!

Witcher 4 Development Underway with Unreal Engine 5, Ciri’s Role Unveiled?

CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 4 is actively in development, with over 400 individuals currently involved. While a visual preview of the game, powered by Unreal Engine 5, was showcased at the latest State of Unreal event, specific storyline details, including the extent of Ciri’s playable role, have yet to be revealed. However, the Polish studio is committed to a faithful adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels.

The Witcher 4 Delves into Geralt’s Youth and Ciri’s Journey with Crossroads of Black Birds Influence

Although The Witcher 4 and previous games introduce new narratives within Andrzej Sapkowski’s dark fantasy universe—extending beyond the original book events—CD Projekt Red consistently aims to remain true to the source material’s lore. The upcoming game will feature an older Ciri, and this commitment to lore will apply directly to her narrative. Phil Weber, a screenwriter for The Witcher 4, recently shared on X the fantasy books that will inspire his storytelling for Ciri’s next journey. Topping this list is Andrzej Sapkowski’s most recent book in The Witcher universe, The Crossroads of Black Birds. This particular novel focuses on the youth of Geralt of Rivia, predating the events of the popular series. In a response to a fan, Philip Weber also hinted at the integration of The Crossroads of Black Birds into The Witcher 4 through specific narrative elements. Fans will be pleased to know that Geralt, Ciri’s adoptive father, is confirmed to return in this sequel. The game may incorporate flashbacks to his younger days or include dialogue directly inspired by Sapkowski’s latest Witcher tale. Given its status as one of Poland’s most iconic book series, CD Projekt Red is expected to honor this novel within The Witcher 4.
