The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't perfect. Its combat system, in particular, drew criticism from fans.
In a recent interview, The Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He specifically highlighted the need for significant improvements to the core gameplay loop and the monster hunting experience. "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience," he stated.
Kalemba emphasized that the upcoming Witcher 4 trailer will showcase a more impactful and powerful monster-fighting experience, focusing on improved combat choreography and emotional intensity.
Witcher 4 promises a revamped combat system, addressing long-standing concerns. CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games and is committed to rectifying them, improvements that will likely carry over into the planned Ciri-centric trilogy.
Interestingly, developers also plan to include Triss's wedding as a storyline element. In Witcher 3, the Ashen Marriage quest was originally intended for Novigrad. The narrative depicts Triss's burgeoning feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage. Geralt's role in this storyline involves monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift for the bride.
