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 portrayal of Ciri. The updated model showcases subtle, yet impactful, adjustments to her appearance, addressing earlier concerns.

Following the initial The Witcher 4 announcement, criticism arose regarding Ciri's design, with some players finding her unrecognizable. This new iteration, however, appears much more faithful to her original design, likely benefiting from improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
