CD Projekt RED has recently delighted fans with a ten-minute behind-the-scenes video that dives into the making of the first trailer for The Witcher 4. One of the most talked-about elements from this video is the enhanced visuals of Ciri, a character whose depiction has seen significant improvement since her initial reveal. This time, the developers unveiled an updated model of the protagonist, showcasing subtle yet impactful changes that have garnered positive feedback from the community. Following the initial announcement of The Witcher 4, there was considerable critique regarding Ciri's design, with many fans feeling she looked unrecognizable. However, the latest iteration appears to be more faithful to her original appearance, likely due to enhanced lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
