CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model showcased in the video addresses previous criticisms regarding her design. Following the initial reveal, many fans felt her appearance was drastically different from previous iterations. This new version, however, appears much more faithful to her original look, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
