The Witcher 4 Video Shows New Look at Ciri

During Epic's State of Unreal event, CD Projekt Red showed off some stunning footage of The Witcher 4, promising the most ambitious entry in the iconic series to date.
CD Projekt Red came prepared with two videos for fans. The first was a brief cinematic showcasing a group of people being ambushed by a flying creature while in a wagon. Afterward, Ciri can be seen investigating the wreckage before things transition into another video.
Following the cinematic of Ciri investigating the wagon's wreckage, things then cut to a 'technological showcase.' CD Projekt Red claims the video is running on a standard PlayStation 5 and outputting in 60 FPS with ray-tracing enabled. While some fans considered it a gameplay video, CDPR told VGC that the video was a separate tech demo set in the world of The Witcher 4 and not the game itself.
In the video, Ciri rides into town on her horse, Kelpie, and we're treated to some stunning visuals and physics. After arriving in town, Ciri moves through a crowded market before CDPR's Sebastian Kalemba talks a bit about the game. He noted that the upcoming project is the 'most ambitious' and immersive open-world Witcher game ever.
Currently, not a ton about The Witcher 4 is known. The game was revealed last year at The Game Awards, and CDPR has kept mostly quiet on things outside of their presentation today.

Remedy is trying to fix FBC: Firebreak in response to middling reviews and player feedback

Remedy has shared its plans to improve FBC: Firebreak, the new multiplayer Control spinoff, following a string of less-than-stellar reviews that criticized the game's rough early hours. FBC: Firebreak was announced in October 2024 as the first online multiplayer game from Remedy, and another pitstop on the way to an eventual Control 2 . The full patch notes for Remedy's first update are available to view on Steam, but in brief, the biggest change the developer is making is to how missions are unlocked. Previously, Firebreak required players to play a simpler, shorter version of the game's missions (like dealing with multiplying post-it notes or pink goo, for example), before a more complex version of the mission became available. Now those full-fat missions are available from the start, and completing one unlocks the next type. Remedy's update also rebalances the cost of cosmetics and makes it easier to see and find in-game collectibles, among other tweaks. The developer is planning to make larger changes to how FBC: Firebreak explains the synergies of in-game weapons and abilities, but those onboarding improvements will take longer to implement. Future updates adding new missions and cosmetics where already planned for the game, so fixes will presumably be worked into the existing roadmap. We enjoyed our hands-on time with FBC: Firebreak , but reviewers report a less rosy picture after playing the game over a longer period of time. Eurogamer found Firebreak charming in Remedy's typical oddball way, but also inconsistent in terms of difficulty. GameSpot noted similar messiness in the game's mission design, and also the general lack of explanation for weapons and abilities. The more damning and existential problem highlighted by TechRadar is the dearth of story in the game, something that Control generally excelled at. Remedy doesn't appear to have a plan to address any perceived narrative shortcomings in FBC: Firebreak , and since it's a multiplayer game, the company may just have different goals. FBC: Firebreak is available now for $40 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. If you pay for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, you can play the game at no additional cost.
