Ciri

Ciri is the protagonist of The Witcher IV. CD Projekt Red presents her as a professional monster slayer and the central character of the new Witcher saga.

Known fully as Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon in the wider Witcher universe, Ciri is Geralt of Rivia's adopted daughter and one of the most important figures from the earlier games and Andrzej Sapkowski's source material. In The Witcher IV, the focus moves from Geralt's completed trilogy to Ciri's own path.

Role In The Witcher IV

The reveal trailer introduces Ciri during a witcher contract in a remote village. She attempts to intervene in a ritual sacrifice and confronts both the monster threatening the village and the fear-driven customs of the people she is trying to protect.

CD Projekt Red has framed Ciri's role as more than a simple protagonist swap. Game Director Sebastian Kalemba described the new saga as Ciri's story and said the team wants to explore what it means for her to truly become a witcher.

Abilities And Tools

The cinematic reveal shows Ciri using a sword, a chain, and advanced magic powers. These details indicate a combat identity different from Geralt's, but the exact gameplay systems, progression trees, and final ability list have not been fully revealed.

Continuity

The Witcher IV follows the legacy of The Witcher 3 while beginning a new saga. CD Projekt Red has not fully detailed how every previous ending, returning character, or Ciri's altered abilities will be handled, so this page focuses on information shown in official reveal material and studio statements.
