The Witcher 4 State of Unreal tech demo is sublime
Video game developer CD Projekt Red stopped by the State of Unreal 2025 event to show off new footage from The Witcher 4, the upcoming release in its popular series. The cinematic trailer shown to attendees features a group of traveling merchants ambushed in the dark by a Manticore, a familiar winged beast to longtime fans. We then see our new protagonist and Witcher, Ciri, stepping in to take it down.
That’s where the trailer ends. But for those curious about how CD Projekt is leveraging Unreal Engine 5, there's a tech demo that was shown off immediately after, which you can also watch online.
It’s not a full gameplay reveal, and there’s no release date yet. Still, the studio says the goal is to hit 60 fps with ray tracing enabled on the base PlayStation 5. An ambitious promise, especially after the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077 launch.
