The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many fans 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 stated directly, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster encounters, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.
A substantial combat overhaul is anticipated for The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of previous Witcher games' combat and is actively addressing them. These improvements will likely carry over to future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.
Interestingly, the developers also plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest was initially set in Novigrad, depicting Triss's affection for Castello and her desire for a swift wedding. Geralt's role involved monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
