Epic has announced its annual State of Unreal, a showcase detailing upcoming updates about its Unreal Engine and Epic in general. The presentation airs tomorrow, June 3, and the big news is that The Witcher IV will make an appearance.
CD Projekt Red confirmed on social media that it’s bringing The Witcher IV to the event to show off the technology and features powering the game. The upcoming fourth title, which was first revealed during The Game Awards last December, is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 instead of the studio’s proprietary REDengine 4. You can catch the State of Unreal tomorrow morning starting at 6:30 a.m. PT/9:30 a.m. PT on Epic’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
We don’t know much about The Witcher IV other than it stars Ciri and unfolds after the events of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. The cinematic reveal trailer also provided glimpses of Ciri’s magic spells and a new chain weapon. CD Projekt Red describes The Witcher IV as a single-player open-world RPG and “the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.” The Witcher IV does not have a release window or announced platforms.
Be sure to keep up with every video game showcase airing during the Summer Game Fest season with our evolving schedule of events.
