Video: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 4's Cinematic Reveal Trailer

And it ain't coming to Switch or Switch 2.

I don't quite understand why NintendoLife shows this kind of stuff when it is clearly not coming to Switch or Switch 2. Are they gonna show an article about the new Onimusha game, The Way of the Sword? Because that isn't coming to Switch.

@mereel Good. I'm excited for it.
I've never played a Witcher game before, and I'm looking forward to checking this one out on Xbox (and/or Switch 2).

@LadyCharlie you're excited for a game of a series that you never played? Okay then.

@TimelessJubilee Yes. It looks to be a good jumping on point for me to check out.

You never know, it could come to the Switch 2. Remember when the Witcher 3 would never come to a Nintendo system, especially the underpowered Switch?

Same thing with Nier, and Doom, and many others...

@anoyonmus

People said the same thing about Witcher 3 coming to Switch. Never say never.

@Guitar_bard I feel like this is a safe bet for Switch 2. Maybe delayed after other consoles, but I'd be surprised if it stayed on PS5/Xbox only.

@TimelessJubilee you can only be excited if you played a game in the series before? okay then

@LadyCharlie, you will pretty much skip Geralt and his journey to saving Ciri. I would highly recommend playing the third. You have an Xbox so you can start with the second one if you want.

Mind you. The second one will feel pretty outdated. It did to me.

@KryptoniteKrunch bruh thats a 2015 game. Switch has a 2015 chip in it. So... it was doable anyway

Meh it's look like a one off game that I probably wouldn't touch on anyways. Like I said with any game that are coming to Nintendo platform, if the dev bother to give us an entry and it's not even the first one then don't bother with the rest. Switch got Witcher III, it's a one off, that's it. If they are planning to release this one for Switch 2 they also better give us Witcher I & II as well. I don't like seeing one off title on my platform.

The only time I would accept one off is if it's a spinoff like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Persona Q, Dead Space Extraction, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 where it doesn't bring the canon storyline into the mix or games that hardly had any story like any Virtua Fighter, Tetris, or Cruis'n game.

If you bring a mainline game to my platform then you better bring the rest cause if I already invested my time to get into the story and world/universe of your game and you don't open me to the rest then I won't bother with your one off game. This is the same deal I had with games like Guilty Gear Strive and even the King of Fighters XIII, we got KOF94-2003, KOFXII had no story so that one is fine but where's KOFXI? As for Guilty Gear we got Guilty Gear 1 on Switch, Guilty Gear X on GBA, Guilty Gear XX on Wii and Switch but where's Guilty Gear Xrd?

You lot are Debbie downers aren’t you! Looks great and if it ends up on other platforms still worth knowing about.

@anoyonmus people said the same crap about the Witcher 3 on Switch 1 for years until it happened. Never say never especially when you didn’t even see the Switch 2 yet lmao.

Switch in general has been proving people wrong as their theme from proving everyone wrong that it was gonna be a seller to getting countless previously “never ever” ports

If the game is lined up for the Steam Deck in any fashion, it’ll likely work on the Switch 2.

Ciri should make for a pretty interesting protagonist. It's rare for the child of prophecy tasked with saving the world to be relegated to the role of likeable side character, and I can't even think of another example of one taking the lead after they've already completed their original story arc.

@Anachronism I like Ciri a lot. So I am actually excited for this.

I love the new ciri ❤️

@mereel why, because ciri doesn’t have huge cleavage and the face of a 12 year old?

Why the long face, Ciri.
I think I'll skip this, tried 3 times to get into The Witcher 3 but I never managed to get more than a few hours into the game before getting bored.

@mereel and it will be an amazing game. Some of us don’t fear a woman as a lead in games, movies, tv, or life.

There are some weird comments in this thread. Game looks good, would be amazing if it came to Switch 2. Witcher 3 on switch was a huge achievement, lets see what the future holds!

@Serpenterror
No system has Witcher 1
Witcher 2 isn't optimized all that well for XboX and a controller.

Witcher 3 was built with a controller in mind.

Witcher 1 remake/remaster is being rebuilt with a controller being default.

I can't watch the video...

1: what happened to the witcher game based around a Cat School Witcher?

2: is Ciri a child or adult in this?

Looks epic. Chances of a switch 2 release?? Probably low

The video just made me remeber the days of the PS2 where the video has little correlation to the actual game, because cut screens are not really the game for me.

Ahhh yeah, trailer looks great .

Lots of nice small references to the Witcher universe and so far captures the same feels as the other Witcher games.
Ciri's personality also feels as Witchery as Geralt's (he partly did raise her of course) and I hope the writing will be as good and wonder how much time has passed since the ending of the 3rd Witcher and this one and the changes that have taken place in the world.
Also looking forward to meet a retired Geralt somewhere along the way, haha (I hope that at the beginning of the game you can enter the choices you have made in the previous Witchers, in example, who your Geralt ended up with and that you can visit them from time to time for advice or to celebrate or something).

Let's hope it will come to the next Switch.

This has to come to Switch 2! The devs already supported Switch one, so I can’t see why wouldn’t they support the next gen system from Nintendo.

Wow, did they finally remember that Geralt isn't supposed to be alive? That only took four games.

And this has relevance to Nintendo....how?

@anoyonmus The witcher series has been on nintendo consoles before so it is related to some degree.

I'm so excited for this game. The Witcher 3 is in my top 5 games of all time.

That looks absolutely boss. Time for Ciri Regardless of it making Switch 2 or not I'm really excited for this.

This is a Video Game Trailer for a Game coming to Consoles and PC.

Trailer was okay, but it doesn’t really show what’s going to make it stand out from previous games?

Why is she a Witcher? She was already an OP mage so why the downgrade? I thought women couldn't even become Witchers?

Why does she look like a granny?

They are going to have a tough job appeasing true fans because the transformation makes no sense.

If they manage to make it believable without retconning stuff I'll give it a chance. The writing is going to have to be top teir.

Is it coming to a Nintendo system? NintendoLife is covering a lot of things that aren't Nintendo related. I guess the click goldrush of Game Awards announcements is just too much to pass up.
