Witcher 4 Tech Demo May Not Match Final Game, CD Projekt Says

The anticipation for The Witcher 4 is growing after CD Projekt released a stunning Unreal Engine 5 tech demo. The demo features Ciri exploring the new region of Kovir, showcasing breathtaking visuals and impressive character animations running at 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5. However, CD Projekt emphasized that this tech demo is not indicative of actual gameplay, stating that it reflects their vision for the game rather than the final product. The demo's development was designed to highlight the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5, with an ambitious goal to create one of the most visually advanced RPGs ever.

Amid speculation regarding the launch platforms for The Witcher 4, it seems likely to be a cross-generation game, potentially including PS6 and the next-gen Xbox. However, CD Projekt has indicated that the game may not be released until 2027, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further details on its development and platforms.

While CD Projekt has not confirmed specific platforms for The Witcher 4, the tech demo's execution on PS5 suggests it could also be available on Xbox Series S, although this remains uncertain until more information is provided.

The Witcher 4 is set to continue the legacy of the franchise, which gained immense popularity with its previous entries, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, known for its deep storytelling and expansive open world. Players are keen to see how CD Projekt will evolve the narrative and gameplay mechanics while leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance the gaming experience.
