- CD Projekt Red revealed gameplay details for The Witcher 4.
- The game will feature a revamped movement, better animations, and a much more interactive world.
- More details are expected at the Unreal Engine Fest in June.
It seems like The Witcher 4 is taking forever to come out since the last entry was released more than a decade ago. However, we’re close to the release of the 4th Witcher game, and a proper marketing rollout is just about to begin.
Ahead of the game’s marketing, CD Projekt Red has confirmed the first official details. The Witcher 4 will feature a revamped movement, a far more interactive world than its prequel, and much more realistic animations.
Why it matters: While The Witcher 3 is regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time, the game’s flaws can’t be ignored. Fortunately, CD Projekt Red is addressing all of these concerns with the next entry.
CD Projekt Red’s official AnsweRED podcast delved deep into what Witcher 4 will offer in terms of gameplay elements. Firstly, they talked about the movement mechanics in the game, and it seems like Ciri will be far more agile than Geralt.
There would be a dedicated jump button present, and Ciri would be able to move while casting spells, the biggest concern from the prequel, and what made people annoyed. Ciri would also be able to swim underwater, so expect to fight aquatic monsters.
In terms of world-building, this will by far be the biggest improvement CD Projekt Red will have to offer in Witcher 4. Despite having the same world size as The Witcher 3, the newer entry will focus more on interactability and NPCs, which are said to be much more diverse than in the past.
Lastly, animations for the game will see the biggest improvement. Since Ciri never underwent the mutations that a Witcher does, she is more in touch with her emotions. As such, expect a variety of animations for her, expressing different feelings and emotions. For just movement alone, 80 animations are included in the game.
CD Projekt Red will have more to show about the game at the Unreal Engine Fest, set to take place in June. Expect a trailer for the game, too, since it aligns with the game’s marketing timeline. Before that, however, a new Witcher 3 DLC is expected to bridge the events of the third entry to the fourth.
