CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a captivating ten-minute behind-the-scenes video, offering fans an exclusive look at the making of the first trailer for The Witcher 4. One of the standout moments from this video was the new footage of Ciri, which has sparked significant interest among the community. This updated model of the protagonist features subtle yet impactful adjustments that have been warmly welcomed by many fans.
Following the initial announcement of The Witcher 4, there was a wave of criticism directed at Ciri's design, with many players feeling that she looked unrecognizable compared to her established character. However, the latest iteration of Ciri's model appears to be more faithful to her original depiction. This improvement is likely due to enhancements in lighting and the correction of fisheye lens distortion, which previously affected her appearance.
