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 director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged this, highlighting gameplay and monster hunting as areas needing significant upgrades. He stated explicitly: "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
The upcoming Witcher 4 trailer aims to 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 criticisms of previous entries. CD Projekt Red recognizes these shortcomings and plans to implement these improvements not only in Witcher 4 but also in future installments, with Ciri slated to lead the new trilogy.
Interestingly, the developers also plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest was originally intended for Novigrad. The storyline involved Triss's affection for Castello and her wish for a swift wedding, with Geralt assisting by clearing monsters from the canals, acquiring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.
