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 updated model showcases subtle yet impactful refinements, addressing earlier concerns.
Following the initial Witcher 4 announcement, Ciri's design sparked debate, with some players finding her unrecognizable. This new iteration, however, feels much truer to her original portrayal, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
