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 for fans? The significantly improved portrayal of Ciri.
The new model showcases subtle, yet impactful, refinements to the protagonist's appearance. Initial reactions to Ciri's design following the game's announcement were mixed, with some players finding her unrecognizable. This updated version, however, appears much closer to her original design, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
