CDPR Reimagines Ciri's Appearance in New The Witcher 4 Footage

CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing the creation of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight for fans? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model showcases subtle, yet impactful, adjustments, addressing earlier concerns.

Following the initial The Witcher 4 announcement, Ciri's design drew criticism; some players felt she looked unfamiliar. This new iteration, however, appears much more faithful to her original portrayal, likely benefiting from refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
