"Witcher 4's Unreal Engine 5 Features Unveiled Tomorrow"

CD Projekt Red, the acclaimed developer behind *The Witcher* series, has officially announced that more details about *The Witcher 4* will be revealed this week. The studio confirmed via a recent social media post that it will be joining Epic Games’ State of Unreal briefing on June 3, where it will present an exclusive look at "the innovative technology and features that will power *The Witcher 4*, and beyond."

The keynote event is scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM Eastern Time (3:30 PM CEST) and will be available for live streaming online. This collaboration with Unreal Engine marks one of the first major public showcases of the game since its initial reveal, building anticipation among fans eager for a deeper insight into the RPG’s development.

Last year’s State of Unreal presentation featured a special segment on *Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra*, a highly anticipated title led by Uncharted's creative director Amy Hennig. This year, all eyes are on CD Projekt Red to see if they’ll deliver a similar spotlight—potentially revealing in-engine visuals or even early gameplay footage of *The Witcher 4*. So far, the only publicly available preview of the game has been a detailed CGI trailer.

We'll be coming together with @UnrealEngine to present during the State of Unreal.

We’re looking forward to showcasing some of the innovative technology & features that will power The Witcher 4, and beyond.

One particularly intriguing detail from CD Projekt’s announcement is the mention of technology not only driving *The Witcher 4* but also extending to projects “beyond.” While this could hint at future installments within the new era of *The Witcher* universe, speculation is growing that the studio may also offer a sneak peek at another UE5-powered title such as *Cyberpunk 2*, though no official confirmation has been made.

*The Witcher 4* is set to usher in a new chapter for the franchise, shifting focus to Ciri, Geralt’s adoptive daughter, as the main protagonist. This narrative shift has sparked both excitement and debate among longtime fans. Recently, Doug Cockle, the voice actor behind Geralt, responded to criticism regarding Ciri’s role, urging detractors to "read the damn books," emphasizing her importance in Andrzej Sapkowski’s original saga.

Stay tuned to IGN for full coverage of the State of Unreal 2025 event, including the first in-game look at *The Witcher 4* and any unexpected announcements that may arise. With CD Projekt Red promising to showcase groundbreaking tech and gameplay innovations, this could be a pivotal moment for the franchise and the future of RPGs on Unreal Engine 5.
