“Witcher 4 Director Denies Changes to Ciri’s Face”

CD Projekt has addressed concerns regarding Ciri's appearance in The Witcher 4 after sharp scrutiny from fans. Following the release of a behind-the-scenes video showing Ciri in different lighting, some viewers believed her face had been altered. However, game director Sebastian Kalemba clarified that the model used is the same as in the reveal trailer and that the variations are due to raw footage that lacked final cinematic enhancements. The choice to make Ciri the protagonist marks a significant shift from the series' traditional lead, Geralt. Developers promise that this decision allows for deeper character exploration as Ciri's story unfolds in the new trilogy.

Yes, Ciri will be the main playable character in The Witcher 4, allowing players to experience her journey and character development as the new protagonist.

The Witcher 4 aims to evolve the acclaimed RPG series by exploring the story of Ciri, who has a rich narrative background from both the games and the original books. This installment will represent a continuation of the Witcher universe while allowing fresh gameplay dynamics and plot lines to emerge. As the first title in a new trilogy, the game holds high expectations for broadening the lore and character depth established in previous entries, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
