CDPR acknowledged weak gameplay in The Witcher 3

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 weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He specifically highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas requiring significant improvement. His exact words were, "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.

Expect a substantial combat overhaul in The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the need for improvements over previous Witcher titles, improvements that will likely carry over into future installments featuring Ciri 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 intended to take place in Novigrad, depicting Triss's burgeoning feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift wedding. Geralt's role involved assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.
