The gameplay footage of Witcher 4 finally dropped at the State of Unreal 2025 event. The trailer focuses on the technical side of the next Witcher game, revealing the lightning, character models, animation details, and more of what we can expect when the game comes out. We not only see Ciri but also see her interacting with the world of Witcher 4.
Unreal Engine has always been the top-of-the-line game-making engine for games, games like Batman: Arkham Knight brought the absolute best out of the Unreal Engine 3. The move to Unreal Engine 5 met with considerable scepticism from both gamers and those who have worked on the engine before. Since more games are making a switch towards the Unreal Engine 5, Witcher 4 also swings its sword in that direction.
The new trailer is all about showcasing the graphical elements and the massive technical boost it has received from making a switch to Unreal 5. If you compare the trailer to the Witcher 3, you can see the amount of visual upgrades to the Witcher 4’s Gwent table. A must-watch for anyone who has played all Witcher entries, it is downright impressive how the game came from the first Witcher to the latest one. The breathtaking visuals do show the technical aspects of the Unreal Engine 5.6 version.
No details on the announcement date, the trailer only focused on the detailing of the game and the engine. As Summer Game Fest is on the way, we might get to look at more details of the next Witcher game and how it plays against the Witcher 3.
