'The Witcher 4' Tech Demo Shows Ciri on the Hunt

  • CD Projekt Red revealed a tech demo of The Witcher 4 on June 3, 2025, during the Unreal Fest in Orlando, Florida, showcasing protagonist Ciri hunting a monster in Kovir.
  • The demo followed a multi-year partnership using Unreal Engine 5, aiming to create a visually impressive open world with ray tracing and smooth performance on a base PlayStation 5.
  • The demo ran at a steady 60 frames per second and featured advanced environmental details, dense towns with over 300 NPCs, and realistic horse muscle simulation, but contained no combat or gameplay mechanics.
  • Sebastian Kalemba, the game director, confirmed the tech demo is an in-engine showcase, not actual gameplay, and emphasized that the original PS5 can run it without needing a Pro model upgrade.
  • The Witcher 4 remains without a release date but may launch around 2027–2028 as a cross-generation title for current and next-gen consoles, suggesting a generational shift powered by new Unreal Engine 5.6 features.
