CDPR Addresses Gameplay in The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many players felt the combat system fell short.

In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged this, highlighting gameplay and monster hunting as areas needing significant upgrades. He emphasized the goal of enhancing the feeling of power and weight in monster encounters, focusing on improved choreography and emotional impact in the game's combat.

The Witcher 4 is poised for a major combat overhaul. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is acutely aware of the shortcomings in previous Witcher games' combat and is committed to rectifying them, improvements that will likely carry over into future installments featuring Ciri as the protagonist of a new trilogy.

Interestingly, developers also plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest was originally set in Novigrad. The storyline involves Triss's burgeoning feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift wedding. Geralt's role involves assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
