The Witcher 4 director Sebastian Kalemba has more to share after his announcement that The Witcher 4 has now "entered the full-scale production phase" and our first real look at the new RPG during The Game Awards 2024 - including a deeper dive into how Ciri will differ as protagonist and how CD Projekt Red landed on her over Geralt.
Speaking in a recent interview with IGN, Kalemba begins by describing how having Ciri as the protagonist this time around offers players more freedom - she is younger than Geralt, after all, which opens opportunities of defining and shaping her to fans in ways not possible with her adoptive father previously. It also allows CD Projekt Red to explore Ciri more than before, and to develop her with an added layer of depth.
