CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing the creation of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model showcases subtle yet impactful changes, addressing earlier criticism regarding her design. Following the initial reveal, many felt her appearance was drastically different from previous iterations. This new version, however, appears more faithful to her original look, likely benefiting from improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
