CD Projekt REDs The Witcher 4 has spurred much conversation following its reveal at The Game Awards. Outside of confirming Ciri as the new protagonist and promising new regions and monsters, the development team hasnt delved too much into the story. However, executive producer Magorzata Mitrga has addressed concerns about her overwhelming power at the end of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.Speaking to GamesRadar, Mitrga confirms that something totally happened in-between the two games, addressing the gap between her being totally overpowered at the end of the previous game and now, with the skill set we showed off in the trailer.We had to delve deep to consider how we would address this we have huge respect for the lore, both the books and what made it into our previous games. But this was one of the first questions we found the answer to, and its how we were able to create this original story, which starts with The Witcher 4.How will she play compared to Geralt? Shes faster, more agile but you can still tell that she was raised by Geralt, right? Mitrga also confirmed that the spell wielded in the trailer is called Bolt. Based on what weve seen Geralt pull off with Signs, it seems Ciri is more proficient in magic.Of course, its up to the player how they want her to develop. Game director Sebastian Kalemba previously told IGN about providing more tools for players disposal, to be able to not only play and go with the consequences narratively, but also gameplay-wise. Perhaps those who want to specialize more in magic can do so while others focus on Ciris martial skills. Time will tell.The Witcher 4 is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It doesnt have a release window full production only began last month. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
