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. Originally reported by Anthony Nash on Coming Soon.

Black Panther game cancelled: EA also shuts down Cliffhanger Studio games

Electronic Arts has cancelled its Black Panther game and closed the studio behind it, Cliffhanger Games, less than two years after the project was announced. The decision was confirmed following a report by IGN, and marks another chapter in a series of layoffs and restructurings at the gaming giant. The cancellation was announced internally via an email from Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment and Technology, who said the move was part of an effort to 'sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities.' While the Black Panther project is no more, EA stated it would continue development on other high-profile titles, including the Iron Man game announced in 2022, the next Star Wars: Jedi instalment, and a new entry in the Mass Effect series. The single player Black Panther video game has been canceled at Electronic Arts and Cliffhanger Games has been closed. (Source: IGN) — The Game Awards (@thegameawards) May 28, 2025 Core franchises such as Battlefield, The Sims, Skate, and Apex Legends will remain a priority for the company. 'These decisions are hard,' Miele wrote, acknowledging the human cost of the restructuring. 'They affect people we've worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We're doing everything we can to support them—including finding opportunities within EA, where we've had success helping people land in new roles.' The end of Cliffhanger Games comes shortly after EA laid off an estimated 300–400 employees in April, and cancelled two early-stage 'incubation projects,' including a new Titanfall concept. Those actions followed significant cuts at BioWare earlier this year, after Dragon Age: The Veilguard reportedly underperformed. Cliffhanger Games was established in 2023 with the ambitious goal of delivering a narrative-rich, single-player Black Panther experience. Its swift closure underscores the increasing financial and creative pressures within the gaming industry—particularly for projects outside EA's established blockbuster catalogue.
