The game will host a world that expands in ways never seen before. Players will face a variety of challenges as they explore new regions. Each region will be full of unique characters, monsters and quests.

The Witcher series is known for its complex and in-depth stories. The Witcher 4 will continue this tradition and captivate players with impressive storytelling.

CD Projekt Red is putting great effort into improving the game's visual and technical aspects. Improved graphics, smoother gameplay and more detailed character models will draw players even deeper into the world of The Witcher 4. We expect a game that takes the foundations of the AAA RPG trilogy and elevates them to new heights of immersive adventure and freedom.

New Locations

Players can expect to travel through various regions such as Rivia, Kovir and Temeria. While the details of the story remain hidden, expectations are also growing about how the new School of the Lynx will intertwine with the existing School of the Cat and others in the narrative.
