CDPR Reimagines Ciri's Appearance in New The Witcher 4 Footage

by Brooklyn Mar 16,2025

CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing the creation 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 adjustments, addressing earlier criticism regarding her design.

Following the initial Witcher 4 announcement, some players felt Ciri looked unfamiliar. This new iteration, however, appears far more faithful to her original portrayal, likely thanks to refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.

Fan reactions remain varied. Some celebrate this as a direct response to community feedback, while others attribute the improvements to technical refinements and better lighting. Social media discussions are lively, with many expressing relief at Ciri's return to a more "natural" and recognizable look.
