CD Projekt Red recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing the production of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight for fans? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri.
The new model showcases subtle yet impactful refinements, addressing earlier criticisms regarding her design. Following the initial reveal, many players felt Ciri looked drastically different. This updated version, however, appears much closer to her original portrayal, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
