Therefore, it is likely that Hennet will work on the animations for the scenes in The Witcher 4, transforming the data captured by the actors into emotive scenes, ensuring the detail and realism that make the final result impressive.
Unfortunately, The Witcher 4 does not yet have a release date. However, development is in full swing, with around 400 developers working on the project.
