The first trailer for the long-awaited big game “The Witcher 4”, by the game studio CD Projekt RED, was shown last night during the annual video game award ceremony “Game Awards” in Los Angeles, USA. – This game studio has made some of the best games of all time, it was a very pleasant surprise to see, says game critic at news, Rune Fjeld Olsen, who has seen the trailer. Its predecessor, “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”, is ranked as the third best game ever in the media database IMDB. The game series has also been filmed as a TV series on Netflix. Through the game and TV series, several people have become familiar with the main character “Geralt of Rivia”, but now he passes the baton on to his “Witcher” colleague “Ciri”. “Ciri” has been a prominent character in the game series.

There were therefore several people who were surprised that the trailer came out already now. But what is the game series about? – In the series you take on the role of a “Witcher”, which is a kind of monster hunter who travels around the world and helps people, says Fjeld Olsen. Game commentator for news, Rune Fjeld Olsen, is looking forward to the new game in the “Witcher” series. He believes the precursor offers an all-consuming adventure experience.

I think a lot of the big successes we’ve seen in recent times have taken a lot of inspiration from that game. The game series has made “Geralt of Rivia” a popular figure in gaming and fantasy culture, but there are more people who are now happy that his female “Witcher” colleague, “Ciri”, is taking over as the new protagonist. “Ciri” has been a prominent character in the previous games. – It feels so good to finally be able to show that she will be the main character in The Witcher 4; it just felt natural to us, and we think ‘Ciri’ deserves it,” said CD Project RED game director Sebastian Kalemba. “Geralt of Rivia” has become a popular character in “The Witcher”, both through the games and on Netflix. – She can be just as tough as him. Rune Fjeld Olsen thinks that it is a natural development that she is now taking over. – She has been very important in “The Witcher” series, and is a character that I and many others are very fond of. Ciri is also trained by Geralt and is very close to him from before. She can be as tough as him. – But what about those who will miss “Geralt”? – They can still play The Witcher 3 or watch the TV series. It’s just fun that they think new things and want to tell a new story with a new main role, instead of holding on to what has been. “Ciri” in the new trailer.

The game currently has no launch date, but it is expected that it will not be finished until 2027 at the earliest. Published 13/12/2024, at 13.29 Updated 13.12.2024, at 14.58
