CDPR Reimagines Ciri's Appearance in New The Witcher 4 Footage

CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model features subtle but impactful refinements, addressing earlier criticism regarding her design. Initial reactions to Ciri's reveal were mixed, with some players finding her unrecognizable. However, this latest iteration, benefiting from improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion, appears far more faithful to her original portrayal.
