• Witcher Signs: Tactical Magic
  Simple but effective magical signs used in combat and for utility: Aard (telekinesis), Igni (fire), Quen (shield), Yrden (trap/magic field), and Axii (mind influence). The new engine may allow for more dynamic and powerful applications and combinations.
• Crossbow: Ranged Weapon / Utility
  A ranged weapon used for bringing down flying creatures, fighting underwater, or applying special bolt effects like bleeding or poison.
• Alchemical Bombs: Throwable Consumable (Craftable)
  Craftable bombs with various effects, such as Grapeshot (shrapnel), Samum (stunning), Dancing Star (incendiary), and Dimeritium Bomb (suppresses magic).
• Potions & Decoctions: Buff Consumable (Craftable)
  Consumables that provide powerful temporary buffs to the Witcher's abilities, senses, or combat prowess. Decoctions, made from powerful monster mutagens, offer unique, long-lasting effects but have high toxicity.
• Oils: Weapon Buff (Craftable)
  Blade coatings applied to steel or silver swords to deal significantly increased damage against specific classes of enemies (e.g., Necrophage Oil, Cursed Oil, Beast Oil).

• Light Armor: Consists of leather and cloth sets. Offers minimal protection but allows for greater mobility and less stamina consumption when dodging. Governed by the 'Light Armor' skill.
• Heavy Armor: Consists of chainmail and plate sets. Provides the best physical protection at the cost of increased weight and stamina usage. Governed by the 'Heavy Armor' skill.
• Shields: Used in the off-hand for blocking attacks. Blocking consumes stamina. Different shield types offer varying levels of protection and stability. Governed by the 'Block' skill.

• Witcher School Gear Sets (e.g., School of the Lynx): Craftable and upgradable sets of themed armor (Chest, Gauntlets, Trousers, Boots) belonging to different Witcher schools. Each set provides protection and passive bonuses that synergize with specific playstyles (e.g., combat, signs, alchemy). The new School of the Lynx is expected to be a primary set.

• Light Armor: Armor providing minimal protection but allowing for rapid stamina regeneration, ideal for Sign-intensive or agile, hit-and-run combat styles.
• Relic & Magical Items: Unique pieces of armor or accessories found as loot or quest rewards, offering powerful and unique perks not found on standard gear.
• Rune Slots: Swords and armor pieces will feature slots for Runestones and Glyphs, which provide smaller passive stat bonuses (e.g., increased attack power, Sign intensity, resistance to specific damage types).

• Functional Armor Sets: Customization is primarily functional. Players mix and match different armor pieces (helmets, cuirasses, gauntlets, greaves) made from various materials (leather, iron, steel) to optimize their defensive stats. There is no cosmetic overlay/transmog system.
• Enemy-Themed Armors: Special armor sets can be unlocked by completing quests for blacksmiths, with designs themed after specific powerful enemies found in the world.

• Witcher Gear Sets: Players will be able to craft and wear multiple pieces of Witcher armor, categorized as Chest, Trousers, Gauntlets, and Boots. These sets, belonging to various Witcher Schools (including the new School of the Lynx), will have distinct appearances and can be upgraded through several tiers (e.g., Basic, Enhanced, Superior, Mastercrafted, Grandmaster).
• Common Armor & Clothing: A wide variety of non-Witcher armor and clothing pieces can be found or purchased, offering different visual styles and stats, reflecting the fashion of the various regions of the Continent.
• Armor Dyes: A feature from The Witcher 3's 'Blood and Wine' expansion that is expected to return, allowing players to change the color of their equipped armor pieces for greater personalization.
• Hairstyles & Beards (If custom character): If the protagonist is a custom character, players can expect options for customizing hairstyles and beards at barbershops found throughout the world, a popular feature from The Witcher 3.

The game features a classless progression system. Instead of picking a class, your character's abilities are defined by the skills you use. Using a one-handed sword levels up your One-Handed skill, casting fire magic improves Pyromancy, etc. Players spend points on a constellation-like skill tree to unlock new active and passive abilities related to combat, survival, and crafting.

Players will develop their Witcher through deep skill trees focusing on Sword Combat (fast and strong attacks, parrying, new techniques), Signs (evolved versions of Aard, Igni, Quen, Yrden, Axii), and Alchemy (potions, decoctions, oils, bombs with a potentially more interactive crafting system). A new central progression system, possibly tied to the School of the Lynx, will offer unique abilities and character development paths. Gear (swords, armor) will be craftable, upgradable, and customizable with runes.

The game features a large open world divided into three main zones, including the starting island, the swampy region of the Forlorn Swords, and the lands surrounding the capital city of Cuanacht. The world is filled with distinct biomes, ruins, and settlements to discover.

Expected to feature a massive, next-generation open world that is even more dynamic and reactive than The Witcher 3's. The world will likely be comprised of several large regions, potentially including parts of northern kingdoms like Temeria or Redania, as well as new, unexplored territories. A key focus will be on creating dense, living environments, from bustling cities to monster-infested wilderness, with dynamic weather and ecosystems.

• Ciri (Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon): Major Supporting Character / Potential Protagonist
  The Lady of Space and Time and Geralt's adopted daughter. Depending on the narrative path, she could be the main protagonist or a major NPC and mentor figure, dealing with the legacy of her powers and her role in the world's future.
• Geralt of Rivia (Likely Appearance): Mentor / Supporting Character / Legendary Witcher
  The legendary protagonist of the original saga. While his story is concluded, he is expected to appear in a supporting or mentor role, offering guidance to the new generation. His presence would connect the new saga to the old.
• A New Antagonist: Main Antagonist
  A new, complex villain driving the central conflict. Could be a powerful mage from a clandestine organization, a ruthless monarch with expansionist ambitions, or a supernatural entity unlike any seen before.
• Returning Friends & Allies (e.g., Dandelion, Zoltan Chivay, Triss Merigold, Yennefer of Vengerberg): Supporting Characters / Quest Givers
  Familiar faces from the original trilogy are likely to make appearances, providing side quests, story context, and connecting the new protagonist to the established world and its history.

The Witcher IV is confirmed to be a single-player, story-driven open-world RPG. A separate, standalone Witcher multiplayer game codenamed 'Project Sirius' is in development by a different studio (The Molasses Flood), but 'Project Polaris' will not feature multiplayer.

CD PROJEKT RED has a reputation for substantial post-launch support. The new saga is planned as a trilogy. It is expected that this first game will receive at least two large, story-driven expansions similar in scale to 'Hearts of Stone' and 'Blood and Wine,' introducing new regions, quests, characters, and monsters. Regular free DLCs with smaller content like armor sets and side quests are also likely.

• Q: What is Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon?
  A: It is a first-person, open-world action RPG with survival elements, set in a dark fantasy version of the Arthurian legends. It is based on the popular board game 'Tainted Grail'.
• Q: Is the game finished?

• Q: Is it a difficult game?
  A: Yes, it is designed to be a challenging experience. It combines difficult, deliberate combat with demanding survival mechanics, where players must manage hunger, health, and the ever-present threat of the Wyrdness.

• Q: Is this game a direct sequel to The Witcher 3?
  A: It is the start of a new saga set in the same universe after the events of The Witcher 3, but it will not be a direct continuation of Geralt of Rivia's main story. It will feature a new protagonist, though familiar characters may return.
• Q: Who is the main playable character in The Witcher 4?
  A: CD PROJEKT RED has not officially confirmed the protagonist. Speculation points towards either Ciri or a new, potentially customizable Witcher from the new School of the Lynx, which was teased.
• Q: What engine is The Witcher 4 being built on?

• Q: Will The Witcher 4 have multiplayer?
  A: No, CD PROJEKT RED has confirmed that the next mainline Witcher game ('Project Polaris') will be a single-player, story-driven open-world RPG, following the tradition of the series. A separate Witcher game ('Project Sirius') is being developed with multiplayer elements.
• Q: Will Gwent be in The Witcher 4?
  A: While not officially confirmed, the immense popularity of the Gwent card game in The Witcher 3 makes its return in some form highly likely, possibly with new decks, factions, and updated rules.
• Q: Will my choices from The Witcher 3 carry over?
  A: It's unknown if a save-import feature will be implemented. If the story is set many years later with a new protagonist, the world state might be based on a default 'canon' outcome of The Witcher 3, or players may be able to set their previous choices via a narrative summary at the start of the game, similar to what was done for The Witcher 3.

Being developed on Unreal Engine 5, the game is expected to set a new benchmark for visual fidelity in open-world RPGs. It will utilize UE5's Nanite technology for highly detailed environments and Lumen for dynamic global illumination and reflections, resulting in incredibly realistic lighting, shadows, and world detail.

The score will likely be composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz or composers in a similar style, featuring a blend of epic orchestral arrangements, Slavic folk music, and atmospheric soundscapes to create an immersive audio experience. Sound design will be crucial for monster encounters and environmental storytelling.

The UI is designed to be immersive, with minimal elements on screen during exploration. It features a compass, health/stamina/mana bars, and a quick-select menu for items and spells. The skill tree is represented as a star constellation, and a sketchbook journaling system allows for a unique 'photo mode'.

Expected to feature a modern, clean UI with customizable elements. Key features will include a 3D world map, a detailed journal for quests and characters, an intuitive inventory and crafting screen, and a streamlined radial menu for selecting signs and items in combat.

Following industry trends and CDPR's recent efforts, the game is expected to have comprehensive accessibility options, including extensive subtitle customization, colorblind modes, remappable controls, audio cues for gameplay, and potentially adjustable difficulty and gameplay modifiers to cater to a wide range of players.
