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 portrayal of Ciri.
The updated model showcases subtle but impactful refinements, addressing earlier criticisms. Following the initial Witcher 4 announcement, many players felt Ciri's design was drastically different. This revised version, however, appears much closer to her original look, likely thanks to enhanced lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
