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 updated model showcases subtle, yet impactful, refinements to the protagonist's appearance. This follows earlier criticism regarding Ciri's initial reveal, with some players finding her design unrecognizable. The improved model, however, appears more consistent with her previous iterations, likely benefiting from enhanced lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
