CD Projekt Red has confirmed its participation in the State of Unreal event, scheduled for June 3, where it is expected to share news about the highly anticipated video game The Witcher 4. This announcement comes in a context of great expectation, as the company embarks on a new chapter in the iconic saga, so any information that arises could be crucial for the franchise’s followers.
It will appear at an event during the Summer Game Fest
The State of Unreal event, which is part of Unreal Fest, will start at 3:30 PM, Spanish mainland time, and will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch. In this context, CD Projekt Red has indicated that it will reveal “innovative technologies and features that will drive The Witcher 4 and beyond.” The presence at this event also marks a significant shift in the company’s development philosophy, as, after a multi-year agreement with Epic Games, the Polish company will use Unreal development tools instead of its own RedEngine, which had been used in previous installments.
One of the main innovations that will be presented in The Witcher 4 is the change in the narrative, based on Ciri’s perspective, in contrast to the original trilogy that focused on Geralt. This approach promises to offer a fresh and novel experience for players. However, it is expected that the release will not be available in the near future, as a six-year release window has been anticipated for the upcoming sequels, The Witcher 5 and 6.
The Witcher 4 faces the challenge of surpassing the acclaimed The Witcher 3, which has sold over 60 million copies and generated revenues exceeding 600 million dollars, positioning itself as one of the 10 best-selling video games in history. Fans will surely be on the lookout for updates revealed at the event on June 3 and what this means for the future of the saga.
