CD Projekt did not share a release date for The Witcher 4, nor did the
studio say what platforms the game would arrive on. However, it has
previously said it was making the game in Unreal Engine 5, and if you
look hard enough, a footnote at the bottom says the trailer was
pre-rendered in UE5 on an unannounced "NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU."

Elden Ring Nightreign is a co-op spinoff coming in 2025

Multiplayer isn't a new concept for FromSoftware. Demon Souls,
multiple Dark Souls entries, and Elden Ring all allow for some kind of
co-op multiplayer if you need to summon a friend in for a particularly
difficult boss fight. Playing a game were you get to run around the
open world with friends, seemingly with a much greater ability to jump
and run around based on the trailer, would feel very different.Elden
Ring Nightreign is coming to PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and
PC in 2025.

Right away, you can see the influence of The Game Kitchen. The
studio's signature pixel art style looks gorgeous in the back half of
the reveal trailer, and it looks like the game will reward tight,
coordinated play from players. As for the story, it's set during the
events of the NES version of Ninja Gaiden and stars a new protagonist,
Kenji Mozu. It's up to him to save Hayabusa Village while Ryu is away
in America.
