Recently, CD Projekt RED unveiled a captivating ten-minute behind-the-scenes video that delves into the creation of the first trailer for The Witcher 4. Fans were particularly thrilled to catch new glimpses of Ciri, whose updated model has garnered significant attention and praise for its noticeable improvements over previous iterations.
The developers have made subtle yet impactful adjustments to Ciri's design, addressing earlier criticisms where fans felt she appeared unrecognizable. This latest version is more faithful to her original depiction, likely enhanced by superior lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion. These changes have been warmly received, bringing Ciri closer to the character fans have grown to love.
