Poland's biggest video game maker CD Projekt on Friday released a trailer for its planned new game in the blockbuster "Witcher" fantasy series.
After the troubled release of its previous big-ticket game "Cyberpunk", CD Projekt has been careful not to indicate when "The Witcher IV", currently in the full-scale production phase, will premiere, said Reuters.
The single-player role-playing game is a successor to "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", expanding the universe of the medieval fantasy franchise which has sold more than 75 million copies since the first game was released in 2007.
"The Witcher IV aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date," CD Projekt said in a statement.
The game is led by Ciri, the adopted daughter of Geralt of Rivia, the main character from the previous Witcher games.
Analysts expect it to debut in 2026 or 2027, leaving CD Projekt without a major earnings driver until then.
The game is being developed using customized Unreal Engine 5 technology, which also powered the six-minute trailer.
Erste Group analyst Piotr Bogusz said the trailer can show the target quality of the game.
"Interest in the trailer is relatively high, and the trailer itself is rated mostly positively."

Under the patronage of Saudi Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary, the Impact Makers Forum (ImpaQ) kicked off in Diriyah on Wednesday, attracting a host of influencers, experts and content creators from around the world.

The opening ceremony featured a modern theatrical performance titled "The Butterfly Effect," celebrating the forum's message and its significance in various fields of influence.

In an opening speech to over 1,500 guests at the Diriyah Arena, Al-Dossary emphasized the growing role of influencers, highlighting the importance of leveraging this influence to foster creativity and innovation and to stimulate community and economic development.

"The Kingdom's Vision 2030, led by Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, is a vision that has inspired the world and created impact," he stated.

"Influence can be a single word from a passerby that might forever change someone's life for the better. It could come from a street vendor striving to provide for his children, a loving father, or a great mother who performs miracles to instill values in her children," he remarked.

"Influence is not confined to platforms and screens alone. Look around you at work, in your club, in your neighborhood, at home, and you will see who has shaped your personality and life. ImpaQ celebrates them and all of you," stressed the minister.

The Impact Makers Forum, the largest of its kind in the Kingdom, is being held on a 23,000-square-meter venue and includes three main areas: "Innovation Space" hosting panel discussions and major events, "Impact Space" where influencers share their inspirational experiences, and "Lab Space" for creative and technical workshops.

The two-day forum features over 40 diverse activities across 14 areas of influence, including media, artificial intelligence, sports, tourism and culture. The event will attract over 30,000 visitors, making it a leading platform for exchanging expertise and showcasing success stories in various fields of influence.

The forum also allows international influencers through special tours organized in cooperation with the Saudi Tourism Authority, aiming to highlight Saudi Arabia's uniqueness and appeal. The opening ceremony was digitally streamed to over one million viewers.

The forum features a diverse and engaging agenda, including panel discussions and workshops, while fostering substantial interaction among participants and attendees. This dynamic atmosphere underscores the Kingdom's role as a global hub for inspiration and innovation in the area of influence.
