CD Projekt Red has released a 10-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Witcher 4's cinematic reveal trailer, which has given some interesting insight into the RPG's focus on Ciri as the protagonist rather than Geralt.
Story director Tomasz Marchewka previously explained that "from the very beginning we knew it had to be Ciri" as the protagonist, with game director Sebastian Kalemba adding that "it just felt natural to us and we believe that Ciri deserves it." Ciri and Geralt are two very different characters, though, and it sounds like the devs really wanted to get that across right from this first trailer.
