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, specifically highlighting the need for significant improvements to the core gameplay loop and monster hunting mechanics. He stated plainly, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
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 weight.
Witcher 4 promises a substantial combat overhaul, addressing long-standing criticisms of the series. CD Projekt Red recognizes the need for these improvements, which will likely benefit future installments, especially considering Ciri's central role in the planned trilogy.
Interestingly, the developers also plan to include Triss's wedding in Witcher 4. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally slated for Novigrad, saw Geralt assisting with wedding preparations, including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and choosing a gift. This storyline hints at Triss's romantic feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
