While this is definitely real-time and in-engine, it’s so heavily scripted and such a small vertical slice of the game that it can’t be used as a representation of the final game at all. CDPR have learned nothing from Cyberpunk and Witcher 3 launches, it seems.
ETA: CDPR have clarified that this isn’t The Witcher 4 but the way they speak about the features demonstrated makes me think that wasn’t their original intention when showing this on stage and that they’re already trying to walk some of it back.
