The Witcher 4 - Cinematic Reveal Trailer - The Game Awards 2024

Creative idea

The Witcher 4 trailer was created entirely in Unreal Engine 5, using models and environments sourced directly from the game. A key challenge was giving them a cinematic feel while maintaining consistency with the original game world. Character animation was based on a motion capture session involving actors and stunt performers, capturing both emotional dialogue scenes (using HMC helmets) and the full intensity of the monster fight sequence with the Bauk. By combining real-time technology with advanced animation techniques, we were able to produce a high-quality piece—faithful to the universe, yet meeting the standards of cinematic storytelling and expression.
