Platige Image, the studio behind cinematics for major games including The Witcher 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Lords of the Fallen 2, has released a detailed VFX breakdown showcasing its work on The Witcher Season 4 on Netflix.

The breakdown highlights more than 100 visual effects shots created for the latest season, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how spell effects, large-scale battles, environment extensions, and on-screen impact moments were assembled for the final episodes.

A Closer Look at the Season’s Most Demanding Sequence

Platige Image points to a major sequence in the season’s final episode as its most challenging work, featuring Sharlto Copley as Leo Bonhart. The studio says the scene required more than 50 connected VFX shots, with careful continuity across cuts so the action still feels grounded and coherent from start to finish.

The focus here is on supporting the performance and maintaining a sense of realism as the sequence builds. It’s the kind of work you only really notice when it’s done right, which makes a breakdown like this genuinely interesting to watch.

A Team With Deep Witcher Experience

The VFX work was developed with Platige Image specialists Magdalena Rudnicka (VFX Producer) and Adam Torczyński (VFX Supervisor). Both have prior credits on The Witcher Seasons 1–3 and The Witcher: Blood Origin, which helps keep the visual language consistent across the series.

Platige Image has also contributed to other effects-heavy productions, including Netflix’s Shadow and Bone, and continues to work across both game cinematics and streaming projects.

From Game Cinematics to Streaming Series

For gaming fans, Platige Image’s involvement stands out given the studio’s long history with high-end game trailers and cinematics. This breakdown is a good example of how the same techniques used to sell scale and impact in games are now deeply embedded in modern streaming productions.
