CD Projekt RED teamed up with Platige Image for the new trailer and these are the chaps responsible for intro cinematics in the previous Witcher games. at just under six minutes long, the trailer sshows Ciri as the main character of the game, and gives a glimpse of a small part of the story, a witcher contract set in a remote village.

As detailed earlier, CD Projekt RED switched from its own engine to a custom build of Unreal Engine 5 for The Witcher IV, and it is promising that the game will be "the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date."

In the nearly six-minute trailer, viewers are introduced to Ciri, the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia, as she takes on a witcher contract in a remote village that has been terrorized for generations by a fearsome monster demanding human sacrifices. Framed as a short, self-contained Witcher story, the trailer showcases Ciri's new abilities and tools, including a chain and advanced magic powers.

At the heart of the trailer is Ciri's perspective as an outsider to the village. As the villagers say goodbye to one of their own - a young girl they are preparing for a traditional ritual sacrifice - Ciri chooses to intervene. Aiming to slay the beast and save the girl at the same time, Ciri finds herself at odds with the prejudices and superstitions of the people she tries to protect, leading her to confront a painful witcher lesson: that monsters come in all forms.
