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 criticism regarding her design.
Following the initial announcement, some players felt Ciri looked unrecognizable. This new iteration, however, appears much more faithful to her original portrayal, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
