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? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model showcases subtle yet impactful changes, addressing earlier fan concerns.
Following the initial The Witcher 4 announcement, Ciri's design drew criticism; some felt she looked drastically different. This new iteration, however, appears much more faithful to her original portrayal, likely benefiting from refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
