The Witcher 4 developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed it will showcase more of its highly-anticipated upcoming RPG this week.
In a post on social media this afternoon, CD Projekt Red announced it would be bringing a look at “the innovative techonology and features that will power The Witcher 4, and beyond” to Epic Games’ State of Unreal briefing tomorrow.
Epic’s keynote will kick off at 9.30am Eastern time tomorrow, June 3, and will be streamed online.
Last year, Epic devoted a portion of its State of Unreal showcase to a peek at Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, the Captain America and Black Panther-starring game from Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig.
A similar focus on The Witcher 4 would provide our first look at in-game (or at least in-engine) visuals for the project, which has so far only been glimpsed via a lengthy CGI trailer. Could we even see proper gameplay? Time will tell.
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.

Another interesting point here is CD Projekt’s mention of technology that powers not only The Witcher 4, but “beyond.” Is this is a reference to future games in this new era of The Witcher, or could we get a glimpse at another UE5-powered CD Projekt game, such as Cyberpunk 2?
The Witcher 4 is set to continue CD Projekt’s beloved RPG series as it enters a new era, with Geralt’s adoptive daughter Ciri now set to star. Last month, the voice of Geralt, Doug Cockle, hit back at criticism of the game’s new protagonist, and said so-called fans of the franchise should “read the damn books.”
Stand by for all of the biggest news — and that first in-game look at The Witcher 4 — from State of Unreal 2025 here on IGN tomorrow.
