The Witcher 4 Needs to Put Its Money Where Its Trailer’s Mouth is

by

As a seasoned Witcher fan who has traversed through the treacherous lands of Temeria, Velen, and Skellige, I must say that this year’s Game Awards left me spellbound, but none more so than the unveiling of The Witcher 4! With Ciri stepping into the limelight as our new protagonist, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia, knowing that Geralt’s legacy is being continued.

As a dedicated fan, I was absolutely blown away by this year’s Game Awards, particularly the unveiling of The Witcher 4! In this upcoming installment, it seems we’ll be following Ciri as she steps into the limelight, carrying on Geralt’s legacy. From what I’ve seen in the announcement trailer, The Witcher 4 looks set to showcase a more seasoned and capable Ciri, promising an engaging new narrative that I can hardly wait to dive into!

The ominous ambiance hinted at in the initial glimpse of ‘The Witcher 4’ suggests that CD Projekt Red has more daunting monster confrontations planned for players. Watching Ciri from ‘The Witcher’ series battle a spider-like creature in the trailer is exhilarating, and it’s hoped that ‘The Witcher 4’ will live up to its promise of larger monsters. The monstrous adversaries encountered throughout the ‘Witcher’ series can be quite demanding, but those glimpsed in ‘The Witcher 4’ teaser are anticipated to be just as imposing and fearsome as they appear in the cinematic reveal.

The Witcher 4’s Monsters Need to Live Up to Expectations

CD Projekt Red Confirms the Name of the Monster Featured in the Trailer

In an interview with IGN, game director Sebastian Kalemba of the upcoming game “Witcher 4” revealed the name of the monster Ciri battles in the trailer. This fearsome creature is known as Bauk. According to Kalembda, it’s a formidable opponent that can detect and exploit your fear, traumas, and even paralyze you. Based on this description, the Bauk could potentially be one of the most terrifying monsters in the “Witcher” series. However, Kalemba also disclosed additional details about the Bauk during the interview.

As a dedicated fan, I can tell you that in creating the Bauk character, CD Projekt Red drew significant inspiration from the Phantom Liberty DLC’s Chimera tank boss for Cyberpunk 2077. Kalemba, who was deeply involved in this process, emphasizes that the Bauk is a direct outcome of the valuable insights gained from working on large-scale enemy types like the Chimera. In his words, “The Chimera served as an exceptional lesson for us while designing large creatures.

There is no official release date or time frame for The Witcher 4 at this time.

The implication from this statement is quite exciting, suggesting that the monsters in upcoming game ‘The Witcher 4’ could potentially be the largest yet within the series. Given the size of the monster ‘The Bauk’, it raises curiosity about whether even larger and more intimidating creatures might appear as we learn more about the action RPG. Although Ciri is set to be the lead character in this new era, Geralt will still have a presence in ‘The Witcher’, albeit not as prominent as before.

The Official Wait For The Witcher’s New Era Begins

Despite anticipation and assumptions suggesting a Ciri-led Witcher game, no official announcement was made until The Game Awards. After much secrecy from CD Projekt Red about the project, they’ve finally revealed it, but regrettably, there’s still a long journey ahead. No release date has been set for The Witcher 4, so fans may have to wait some time. However, CD Projekt Red’s experience with Cyberpunk 2077 might mean they learned not to announce games prematurely, which could be an encouraging sign of how advanced The Witcher 4 is in development.

Time will reveal the secrets of The Witcher 4. So far, its heart-racing teaser has left a powerful impact. As days go by, we eagerly anticipate more updates on The Witcher 4, including glimpses of monsters and potentially hints about the final gameplay experience.
