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.
