Witcher 4 director clears the confusion of Ciri's appearance in the latest trailer

recent Behind the scenes video About how Wizard 4The impressive announcement trailer comes together, including footage of the character Ciri, with a different look, or at least that's what some fans see on the video. The game's director has now responded, saying the studio has not modified the appearance of CIRI and tried to explain why her character model in the behind-the-scenes video seems to be different from the trailer itself.

“The video behind the scenes has the same model in the CIRI game as the original trailer. We haven't modified it yet,” Sebastian Kalemba says. “What you see is the original lens – no facial animation, lighting or virtual camera lens.”

Callumba also assured fans that the newly released footage in the behind-the-scenes video represents a “ongoing snapshot” of Ciri's appearance.

“This change is a natural part of the game development process. At this point, the appearance of any character can vary by medium – whether it is in the trailer, 3D model or in the game,” he said.

After the original Wizard trilogy focused on Geralt, Wizard 4 tells its story from the perspective of CIRI. Kalemba talked about how Ciri is the “natural choice” of the Wizard 4.

“She and we also have enough space to build on her. The space for exploration is too big, and because she is such a nuanced character, the beginning of her journey allows us to be free and have many opportunities to be kindly mined and used (in this case).

The Witcher 4 begins a new Witcher Game trilogy that is being developed with other CD Projekt games, including Cyberpunk 2077 sequel and Wizard remake. Witcher 4, such as other games from CD Projekt, is being made using Epic's Unreal Engine 5 CD Projekt and Epic reached a major development agreement.
