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 showcased in the video features subtle yet impactful adjustments, addressing earlier criticism. Following the initial reveal, some players felt Ciri looked unrecognizable. This new iteration, however, appears much closer to her original design, likely benefiting from refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
