The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many players felt the combat system fell short.
In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged this, highlighting gameplay and monster hunting as areas needing significant enhancements. He stated, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
The director emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster combat, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.
A substantial combat overhaul is anticipated for The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of previous Witcher games' combat and is committed to addressing them. These improvements will likely extend to future installments, especially considering Ciri's central role in the new trilogy.
Furthermore, developers plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally planned for Novigrad, saw Geralt aiding Triss and Castello with wedding preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
