The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many fans felt the combat system fell short.
In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He specifically highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas demanding significant upgrades.
"We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience," he stated.
Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful nature of monster battles, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.
Witcher 4 promises a substantial combat overhaul. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the need for improvements over previous entries, changes that will likely extend to future installments, especially given Ciri's starring role in 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 depicts Triss's affection for Castello and her wish for a swift wedding. Geralt assists by ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
