The Witcher 4 sees Red Dead Redemption 2's horse anatomy and submits "realistic muscles moving and stretching" under the skin of Ciri's horse Kelpie
CD🦩 Projekt ꦫRed is taking realism in RPGs to the next level

During today's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Unreal 2025 live stream, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red unveiled some more of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 and its features in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new tech demo – incl♓uding a first look at Ciri's horse Kelpie.
Game director Sebastian Kalemba begins by introducing the new Witcher protagonist and her mount. "Just like Geralt had Roach, Ciri has her own loyal companion," he explains. "These two characters need to feel like one – since you're gonna explore the world on horseback, riding needs to feel seamless, natural, and just fun." What exactly does the lead mean by that? Everything about Kelpie is so realistic, it'd make horses in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 blush.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games' senior director of product💫 strategy, Wyeth Johnson, dives into this hyper-realism in depth: "We're introducing multi-character Motion Matching in Unreal, so Ciri and Kelpie, they're perfectly synchronized when mounting from any angle and speed," he describes, going on to det🔜ail some of the Unreal Engine tech used. "We also support Root Motion movement on Kelpie, so controlling her feels realistic and grounded."

Kelpie's realism doesn't end with the 🧸immersive Root Motion tech, though. "There are also some really nice improvements to our Unreal Chaos Flesh solver and these machine-learned deformations," Johnson concludes alongside a mind-boggling visual of everything in action as an unsaddled Kelpie gallops across the screen. "So you've got realistic muscles moving and stretching under Kelpie's skin without compromising the performance there."
The Witcher 4 is shaping up to be a breathtaking entry in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red's beloved series of RPGs, from its ultra-realistic horseback riding, to its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:setting in the neveওr-before-seen kingdom o💃f Kovir – and as a longtime fan myself, I can't wait to experience it all firsthand whenever the game releases. For now, however, I'll have to remain content with shuffling through the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Witcher 4 screenshots shared today and rewinding the tech demo.
Need even more to look forward to? Here are other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games coming this year and beyond.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fan🎐tasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
