The Witcher 3, despite its stellar reputation, was not without its flaws as an action RPG. Even its most dedicated fans acknowledged that the combat system could have been more engaging. In a recent interview, The Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, openly discussed the areas of the previous game that the development team felt needed enhancement. He emphasized that both the gameplay and the monster hunting experience are pivotal aspects requiring significant upgrades.
Kalemba stated, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience." He further elaborated that the upcoming trailer for The Witcher 4 should reflect the intensity and power of battling monsters, focusing on both the choreography and the emotional impact of these encounters.
Fans can look forward to a major overhaul of the combat system in The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is fully aware of the elements that need improvement from the previous Witcher games, and these enhancements are expected to be carried forward into future titles. Notably, the new trilogy will feature Ciri as the main character, promising a fresh perspective on the beloved universe.
Additionally, the developers have exciting plans to include Triss's wedding in the game. In The Witcher 3, the mission known as the Ashen Marriage was intended to take place in Novigrad. The storyline involves Triss developing feelings for Castello and her desire to marry him as soon as possible. In this narrative, Geralt plays a crucial role in the wedding preparations, which include clearing the canals of monsters, securing alcohol, and choosing a gift for the bride.
