4:35 Yes, that's new! Ciri draws power from water source in this scene to strengthen her magic. It's part of the magical training she underwent with Yennefer in the books. So it looks like in addition to the Witcher signs, she'll also use full-fledged sorceress magic in the game! A wonderful detail, the daughter of her parents!
I doubt it will be "full-fledged" magic. I reckon they've used the fact that she's gone through the trail of the grasses to nerf her massively OP elder blood magic, but it'll be a form of progression throughout the game to unlock some of the magic again

That game is something else. Im not a fan of that type of game but the Witcher 3 is the best game I’ve ever played with the most incredible story. And the story is not even set in stone. It changes after every move you make. Such a masterpiece. No game comes close in terms of story telling, and the world is beautiful as well, especially the blood and wine DLC. The fairy tale part is breathtaking
It looks like Ciri will go through similar struggles Geralt did. Where she thinks she's doing the right thing, and she might be, it'll always somehow backfire and make her realize who the real monsters are. She also seems to be utilizing what Yennefer taught her, about drawing the chaos from her environment, to strengthen her Witcher signs. She might also use actual magic in the game. I'm excited 🙌🏼
I'm really glad the trailer emphasized on the issue of doing things a certain way for the better to see it all go to absolute shite. It gives me a flash to the blood baron. No matter what you do, someone won't come out right in the end, and others die for the sacrifice.
God I am so fucking excited to play a new Witcher game as Ciri. I would watch everyone of you play the Witcher 3, it is one of the greatest games ever made.
Love the end w Ciri saying there are only monsters when the towns people kill the girl, there’s a witcher 3 trailer where geralt saves a girl of similar age from a band of people and says something along the line of killing monsters as he cuts them down. Love the message in both those and how it kinda shows just another thing that geralt passes down to ciri
@@forbiddin4085 No.... they started production after Witcher 3 Blood and Wine. So end of 2016. They didn't have a large enough team back then to make 2 games at the same time. I'm Polish, i know more than you in that regard bro. The 2012 trailer was just a teaser announcing a future project. Nothing more.
Just a quick note here to get us Witcher fans even more excited (and you guys may know this already and just didn't mention it in the video): Not only is this the Witcher 4, but it's the start of a new multi-game saga with Ciri. I'm not entirely sure how long after 3 this game takes place, but I assume it's a pretty safe bet that this will be a "coming of age" story essentially for Cirilla as she comes into her own as a full-fledged monster hunter. Also, Geralt is confirmed to play a role in this, although CDPR are being very cheeky about exactly what kind of role he is gonna play in this story. Super excited to start this new saga with Ciri. Cannot wait to see what CDPR have been cooking, and here's hoping they learned their very painful lessons from the Cyberpunk launch debacle.
Ciri being the main character makes sense with Geralt her mentor with a safezone. W3 ended with Geralt retired as a millionaire to his Beauclair vinyard with Yenn and Ciri going off to become a Witcher.
Lol, I don't get the people going 'they made Ciri ugly' or 'she looks like a dude'. At this point that's just complete denial of reality, like wtf. She's stunning.
I find it funny that I can't point out basic things like "her hairline is totally different" without people assuming I'm one of these misogynists. It's actually really, really tiring. Things that anyone can validate with their own freaking eyes, but instead they'd just like to assume I'm the worst human on the internet.
@@Kvltklassik you must have a guilty conscience to assume they’re calling you a misogynist. You know what I’m really, really tired of? Morons who think we should give a shit what the protagonists hairline looks like in a cinematic trailer.
After watching this reactions videos i think nobody plays witcher 3 cause at the first glance she show us her sword zerial the sparrow which given to her by Gerart of Rivia, but nobody even mentioned this blade, but the trailer is awesome I hope this game will be awesome, sorry for my english it's not my first language.
Probably because they completely changed the design for zireael for this trailer. The blade in TW3 was completely straight with large markings, whereas the one in this trailer has serrations and smaller markings
Speaking of the movie, there is a new The Witcher animated movie coming out soon, it's called Sirens of the Deep and releases in February 11, 2025. Looks pretty good.
Great to see your reaction to this! Very hyped myself. Regarding the first Witcher game, I agree that it's old and janky with weird controls but once you realize that the fighting is basically being in the right stance and performing a rhythm game, it becomes so easy.
Yeah, Cyberpunk is easily better than Witcher 3. If we get further into a Cyberpunk game series with more well defined characters it's going to blow Witcher away in every aspect.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418I think the only way you can definitively say one game is better than the other is as "Witcher 3 was in a better day 1 state than Cyberpunk" Comparing the finished products is pointless with how different the games are.

People crying “Go woke go broke” and saying Ciri is hideous…are a complete joke! I understand those concerned with having a Witcher game without the GOAT Geralt but they pretty much told us as much that Ciri would takeover. She was pretty much the main character and Geralt retired and pretty much handed it over to her in the DLC anyway. But the people literally crying about a woman and analyzing her looks with scientific breakdowns…NEED TO GO OUTSIDE AND INTERACT WITH REAL PEOPLE. Because being locked in a basement doing nothing but crying about every game being woke clearly isn’t healthy for them. The devs are not making this political you are. And I think not enough people are talking about how weird it is that you’re upset that Ciri isn’t a sexy teenager anymore. That’s just weird!
Bold statement that the devs aren't making this political. Maybe you should look at what CDPR has been up to lately, if you think their products are ideologically pure :)
This trailer is an actual quest from the game. It will probably look different in the game version, but you can play through it and save this girl if you make the right decisions.
You guys should check out some of the older cinematic trailers for the witcher 3, maybe that will get you interested in playing it. :) Also would be good content for this channel.
A remake of the first part of The Witcher is being created under the supervision of Cd Project Red, so if you find it difficult to play the original now, you should have the opportunity to try the new version in some time

@@ems7448 it's really great to play all 3 because your choices from the previous games are carried over to the new game. There are characters who might be dead or alive in the new game based on your choices in the last one (eg Letho). I am assuming this will also be true for W4
Yeah the Witcher 2 and 3 are great suggestions, but 2 is a little aged. 3 is still one of the best games ever made, It's DLC Blood and Wine was the best raited DLC in tge world for 8 or so years it took Elden Rings Shadow of the Erdtree to knock it into 2nd place. Cyberpunk 2077 is now easily one of the best games I have ever played. And it was massively successful. Over 30 million copies sold, and the DLC sold 8 million. It's in the top 30 best-selling games ever that's with the catastrophic launch. Well worth a play. I would love for Eric to stream any and all of these games he loves lore and codex's CDPR and Remedy should be his dream studios.
I love witcher 2 so much. Imo it's better than w3, though it's not as open world or fresh. The way the abilities worked, even just the medallion sense... Mwah.
@@KvltklassikSame I heard from my coworker friend. W3 combat design is so badly designed you can become a god while in W2 it's not possible and you also feel more immersive .
@dcmastermindfirst9418 I disagree, I am no fan of Fromsoft games, but Elden Ring is a fantastically designed and made game. The audio-visual design is top tier. The lore is fantastic, as is the diagetic and environmental storytelling. For those who like FS games, the combat allows a lot of variety in their builds, and the map encourages exploration. Even if we don't like it, it's madness to say it "sucked."
Many people have been discussing why is Ciri a seemingly full Witcher since the trial of grasses was lost If she has the power to travel through dimensions maybe she can go back to the past and do the trial when there were more witchers around who knew how to do it the problem is why would she because I thought she didn't need it in the first place because she has immence power on her own Unless she lost her powers and she could do the trial it could be as simple as that because in the trailer she didn't teleport even once Maybe someone knows it still could be Yen
Really happy about the apparent time skip from Witcher 3 to Witcher 4. Love that Ciri has aged a bit more. One of my favorite things about Witcher 3 is that you play as someone experienced and not a young adult, so really excited to see what Ciri has in store for us!
I must have a different Witcher 3 collectors edition than the one Rick was talking about, I don't have any Gwent cards. Mine's just the massive box, the amazing hardcover artbook, wolf school medallion, steelbook case, and I'm missing the Geralt statue hence why I was able to afford the damn thing. I still need to go back and properly play Witcher 2, found a copy of that a while back. I'm not interested in playing W1, but I do recall selling a few copies of that when I worked at Best Buy when that game was new. That was my introduction to the Witcher IP as a whole.
Physical edition is not out yet, it's announced, coming out next year (2025) and it is for the separate game in a separate launcher. I believe it's free, not a Witcher 3. Cards you can buy right now are not a part of collectors edition for w3, they are a separate product, and they are only separate decks, no rule book, no "table" all of which would be present in that new physical edition coming up. You can check the details online if you wish
@@Sarfixell Thanks for the info dump. I'm talking specifically to Rick's statement that some Witcher 3 Collector Edition came with some Gwent cards. I don't really care about the specifics of Gwent, I avoided it entirely in my playthrus.
@@Sarfixell It is nice to know he was wrong on the CE part anyway, Rick's always talking out of his ass. Can anyone explain what's up with his red glasses and headphones? Sensory issues or something? Anyway yeah Gwent, couldn't do it. The last in-game TCG I partook in was FF8's Triple Triad, the pinnacle.
@@cd5sircoupehe wasn't wrong. According to Google there was a specific collectors edition that came with a full set of gwent cards. Saw someone showing it off on Reddit as well. So there were probably multiple types or releases of some kind of collectors edition, with different stuff in each And yeah, the stuffs for his sensory issues.
The witcher 3 is easly my most alll time hours poured into a game. Please play I would def watch. Also read the books they are fantastic. I always go back to them.
I have the full Witcher trilogy on Steam, but only started 1 and didn't enjoy the age of it. Do I need to play all 3 to understand the full story, or can I skip to 2 or 3? I have played Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty a few times and love it to death.
People who complained about this trailer gotta apologize right now, this shit looks amazing for CG, and I'm loving the hint towards new abilities. Also love the callback to the Witcher 3 trailer, "What are you doing?" "Killing monsters".
God please Eric play TW3!!! Also, maybe not you kinda game but the first one is an excelent one with such a great story, same for the second one which has a way better playability.
I’m curious about how potions work for her. She’s not technically a Witcher, she never underwent the mutations. Witcher potions are supposed to be toxic to those who aren’t mutants. She DOES have the Elder Blood and that could be the explanation, I suppose.
Have they got someone else playing Jake in this episode? He looks and sounds slightly different. Close enough that I know who he's meant to be, but not quite right.
notice who was weilding that dagger. Also that monster consumed not only flesh. I you would stop yapping and instead listened you would have noticed what it was saying and it gives a lot more to this situation.
I am so glad that they make her the main protagonist don't get me wrong geralt is a legend but he really have to rest now he died in the books and they bring him back now he is getting old thats why I don't want them to stretch out his codex
Not only the second short story book is mostly about Ciri... the whole 5-part saga that follows is basically about her as well. I mean it's still from Geralt's point of view, but the whole thing is basically the story of both Geralt and Ciri. It all revolves around her. They're all great, I really enjoyed the whole book series. The first two games, even if chronologically the events happen between the books and TW3, they don't deal with Ciri tho. I think you might skip the first two if all you want to catch up on is Ciri's story. They're all very good games tho.
I always say it, but if anyone HASN'T played Witcher 3, I recommend going for 1 and 2 first. 1 is definitely dated, and takes a bit to get used to; I literally was stuck for a year replaying the first chapter on and off, due to my procrastination. It's still pretty fun and the lore is of course great. You get to know the major players of the world and the characters close to Geralt.
"There are no gods here. There are only monsters."
Geralt: THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!
I really like the parallel to the lesser evil trailer.
There's gonna be a character in the game mocking her words in this trailer just like they did with "killing monsters". lol
Is that Ciri?
✨That's our girl✨

@@KvltklassikSame I heard from my coworker friend. W3 combat design is so badly designed you can become a god while in W2 it's not possible and you also feel more immersive .
Witcher 3 is the best game ever made.
Elden ring sucked
@dcmastermindfirst9418 I disagree, I am no fan of Fromsoft games, but Elden Ring is a fantastically designed and made game.
The audio-visual design is top tier. The lore is fantastic, as is the diagetic and environmental storytelling.
For those who like FS games, the combat allows a lot of variety in their builds, and the map encourages exploration.
Even if we don't like it, it's madness to say it "sucked."
Many people have been discussing why is Ciri a seemingly full Witcher since the trial of grasses was lost
If she has the power to travel through dimensions maybe she can go back to the past and do the trial when there were more witchers around who knew how to do it the problem is why would she because I thought she didn't need it in the first place because she has immence power on her own
Unless she lost her powers and she could do the trial it could be as simple as that because in the trailer she didn't teleport even once
Maybe someone knows it still could be Yen
Is this gonna be like last time where y’all very slowly reacted to all the game trailers over a period months? 😂
Can't wait for the Gwent sequel.
Ciri is Ladgerda?
I'd absolutely watch you play Witcher 3 Eric
Really happy about the apparent time skip from Witcher 3 to Witcher 4. Love that Ciri has aged a bit more. One of my favorite things about Witcher 3 is that you play as someone experienced and not a young adult, so really excited to see what Ciri has in store for us!
Please Eric start that Witcher 3 playthrough ASAP!
Eric, PLEASE play the Witcher 3!!!!!🎉
Can we please get a witcher 3 playthrough ?
cant wait for this next Gwent game that comes with a side quest about saving the world!!
Ciri looks like an absolute badass, CDPR never misses so I get the feeling this will be excellent
I must have a different Witcher 3 collectors edition than the one Rick was talking about, I don't have any Gwent cards. Mine's just the massive box, the amazing hardcover artbook, wolf school medallion, steelbook case, and I'm missing the Geralt statue hence why I was able to afford the damn thing. I still need to go back and properly play Witcher 2, found a copy of that a while back. I'm not interested in playing W1, but I do recall selling a few copies of that when I worked at Best Buy when that game was new. That was my introduction to the Witcher IP as a whole.
Physical edition is not out yet, it's announced, coming out next year (2025) and it is for the separate game in a separate launcher. I believe it's free, not a Witcher 3.
Cards you can buy right now are not a part of collectors edition for w3, they are a separate product, and they are only separate decks, no rule book, no "table" all of which would be present in that new physical edition coming up. You can check the details online if you wish
@@Sarfixell Thanks for the info dump. I'm talking specifically to Rick's statement that some Witcher 3 Collector Edition came with some Gwent cards. I don't really care about the specifics of Gwent, I avoided it entirely in my playthrus.
@@cd5sircoupe oh got it, well you are welcome anyway! Same here actually, i just didn't really had time for both actual game and gwent.
@@Sarfixell It is nice to know he was wrong on the CE part anyway, Rick's always talking out of his ass. Can anyone explain what's up with his red glasses and headphones? Sensory issues or something? Anyway yeah Gwent, couldn't do it. The last in-game TCG I partook in was FF8's Triple Triad, the pinnacle.
@@cd5sircoupehe wasn't wrong. According to Google there was a specific collectors edition that came with a full set of gwent cards. Saw someone showing it off on Reddit as well. So there were probably multiple types or releases of some kind of collectors edition, with different stuff in each
And yeah, the stuffs for his sensory issues.
Who’s Jake?
Im excited ❤to see ciri
The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece, gotta play that if you haven't.
Yes please Eric you need to play the witcher 3 and please take your time and really explore the game. It's sooo good.
Before the trailer he said this is gonna be awhile so probably at the earliest 4 years away latest 6 years
The witcher 3 is easly my most alll time hours poured into a game. Please play I would def watch. Also read the books they are fantastic. I always go back to them.
I have the full Witcher trilogy on Steam, but only started 1 and didn't enjoy the age of it. Do I need to play all 3 to understand the full story, or can I skip to 2 or 3? I have played Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty a few times and love it to death.
People who complained about this trailer gotta apologize right now, this shit looks amazing for CG, and I'm loving the hint towards new abilities.
Also love the callback to the Witcher 3 trailer, "What are you doing?" "Killing monsters".
Ciri is so FUCKING COOL
Could you guys watch the Dispatch trailer? I think you guys would really enjoy it
God please Eric play TW3!!! Also, maybe not you kinda game but the first one is an excelent one with such a great story, same for the second one which has a way better playability.
I’m curious about how potions work for her. She’s not technically a Witcher, she never underwent the mutations. Witcher potions are supposed to be toxic to those who aren’t mutants. She DOES have the Elder Blood and that could be the explanation, I suppose.
Pretty sure they will explain this in the game, as a lot of people will want to know.
Cd project red has been making my favorite games recently. Cyberpunk is my favorite game of all time. So they will always take my money
Same. CD Projekt Red's work with that game was phenomenal. It's one of the best turn around stories.
Eric, please play The Witcher!🤣🙌
Have they got someone else playing Jake in this episode?
He looks and sounds slightly different.
Close enough that I know who he's meant to be, but not quite right.
In the words of Morty. "LIKE FATHER LIKE GOD DAMN DAUGHTER!!!!"
notice who was weilding that dagger. Also that monster consumed not only flesh. I you would stop yapping and instead listened you would have noticed what it was saying and it gives a lot more to this situation.
I am so glad that they make her the main protagonist don't get me wrong geralt is a legend but he really have to rest now he died in the books and they bring him back now he is getting old thats why I don't want them to stretch out his codex
Times like this make me wish I liked The Witcher 3
Zirael ☺️☺️💪💪💪
Not only the second short story book is mostly about Ciri... the whole 5-part saga that follows is basically about her as well. I mean it's still from Geralt's point of view, but the whole thing is basically the story of both Geralt and Ciri. It all revolves around her. They're all great, I really enjoyed the whole book series. The first two games, even if chronologically the events happen between the books and TW3, they don't deal with Ciri tho. I think you might skip the first two if all you want to catch up on is Ciri's story. They're all very good games tho.
Guys, you're reacting to this trailer but half of you don't know the previous game :D How have you not played Witcher 3 yet?
Witcher 3 is easily one of, if not, the best open world rpgs ever made.
I always say it, but if anyone HASN'T played Witcher 3, I recommend going for 1 and 2 first. 1 is definitely dated, and takes a bit to get used to; I literally was stuck for a year replaying the first chapter on and off, due to my procrastination. It's still pretty fun and the lore is of course great. You get to know the major players of the world and the characters close to Geralt.
Ciri is so damn cool! She looks so much more experienced after some years wonder if we’ll have team up missions with Geralt
i stg if ciri cant jump over a 1 inch wall in combat ill riot.
Older Ciri is bae ❤
It’s Ciri’s time now
Having read the books I knew long ago this was coming! Ciri's ending is also insane ofcourse I wont disclose that.
Some of the biggest game announcements in years and they're drip feeding these reactions. Makes no sense.
PLEASE ERIC; PLAY WITCHER 3!!!!
PLAY WITCHER 3, I'M BEGGING YOU!
Cant wait for this. Please be careful cdpr
There's so much tension when the middle guy speaks. Like someone brought their new friend and others don't like him.
The Witcher 3 took around 3 and a half years to develop
Love witcher and Love Cyberpunk, IN CD PROJEKT RED we trust
Anyone know why the voice actress is different?
