Notable Revelations

The March 2026 episode of the AnsweRED Podcast was particularly significant, revealing several previously unconfirmed gameplay details about The Witcher IV.

Underwater swimming	Confirmed. Expands on the previous game's surface-only swimming.
Spellcasting while moving	Ciri can cast Witcher Signs and Source magic while walking or running, unlike Geralt who had to stand still.
NPC variety	CDPR is investing in diverse, contextual NPC behavior in towns and settlements.
Over 80 movement animations	The animation team built more than 80 distinct animations for Ciri's basic movement to eliminate clunkiness.
