The finale of The Witcher Season 4 is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The episode arrives with a distinct layer of devastation. This is especially for Ciri.

By the time the Season 4 finale “Baptism of Fire” arrives, that transformation is complete. Geralt realizes his childhood dream only to find it hollow. Ciri loses the last of her innocence. Yennefer stands among the ashes of Montecalvo, gathers what remains of a broken order, then walks into a storm to face the man who destroyed it.

"The Witcher" became an instant hit with fans, as Cavill seemed to fit into the role of Geralt in a way that nobody could have imagined. The high fantasy series became a huge talking point in the first season, with many praising the adored actor in his portrayal of the beloved novel and video game character.

The Witcher Season 4 dropped worldwide on October 30, 2025, with Netflix releasing all eight episodes in a binge. Heavily drawing from Baptism of Fire and The Tower of the Swallow, the new run dives back into the chaos left behind, a realm ripped apart by war, destiny, and fractured loyalties.

The Witcher author Andrezj Sapkowski says he has an "excellent" deal with The Witcher 4 developer CD Projekt, but the RPG devs don't tend to ask him for advice much anymore.

The fourth season might not won't blow you away or convert any detractors, but it delivers a solid season filled with excellent action, spectacle, and sentiment.

Lauren S. Hissrich responds to fans who claim Geralt wouldn't have said a certain line in The Witcher Season 4's trailer.

If you really took a liking to the monster-hunting aspect of The Witcher 3, you should feel right at home with Monster Hunter World. Capcom's mainstream dambuster is a focused battler with plenty of complex mechanics for you to sink your teeth into.
