CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight for fans? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri.
The new model showcases subtle, yet impactful, refinements to the protagonist's design. Initial reactions to Ciri's reveal were mixed, with some criticizing her appearance as deviating from previous iterations. This updated version, however, appears more faithful to her original look, possibly due to improved lighting and corrections for lens distortion.
