The Witcher 4

In short: The Witcher 4 is an RPG game released in 2026 by CD Projekt Red, available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Our score: 9.0/10 (highly recommended).

A new saga begins in the Witcher universe.

The Witcher 4 begins a new saga in CD Projekt RED's acclaimed dark fantasy universe, following Ciri as she takes up the witcher's path. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game promises the most visually stunning open world the studio has ever created, with next-gen technology enabling dense forests, dynamic weather, and photorealistic character rendering. Combat evolves beyond Geralt's style to incorporate Ciri's unique Elder Blood powers alongside traditional witcher swordplay and signs. The narrative continues CDPR's tradition of morally complex choices with consequences that reshape the world. Monster hunting contracts return with more dynamic encounters and preparation requirements. The game represents the studio's most ambitious project, building on lessons learned from both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
