CDPR Reimagines Ciri's Appearance in New The Witcher 4 Footage

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 concerns about her design. Following the initial reveal, some fans felt her appearance was drastically different from previous iterations. This new version, however, seems much more faithful to her original look, likely thanks to refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.
