CD Projekt RED recently released a 10-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing the making of the first trailer for The Witcher 4. A key highlight that captured widespread fan enthusiasm was new footage featuring a visibly enhanced Ciri, whose appearance has evolved noticeably since her initial reveal.
This time, the developers presented a refined model of the protagonist, incorporating subtle updates that have resonated positively with the audience. Following the first announcement of The Witcher 4, Ciri's design drew some criticism, with players suggesting her look was not true to the character. The latest version, however, feels much closer to her original portrayal, possibly as a result of optimized lighting and adjustments to correct fisheye lens effects.
