CDPR acknowledged weak gameplay in The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many fans felt the combat system fell short.

In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He specifically highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas requiring significant upgrades.

“We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience,” he stated.

Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster fights, focusing on both the fight choreography and emotional weight.

Witcher 4 promises a revamped combat system. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) recognizes the need for substantial improvements over previous entries, improvements that will likely carry over into future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.

Interestingly, the developers also plan to feature Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally intended for Novigrad, saw Geralt helping with preparations, including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and choosing a gift. This storyline highlights Triss's affection for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
