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 portrayal of Ciri. The updated model showcased in the video addresses previous concerns regarding her appearance.
Following the initial The Witcher 4 announcement, some fans criticized Ciri's design, finding it drastically different from her previous iterations. This new model, however, appears much more faithful to her original look, likely benefiting from refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
