The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many players felt the combat system needed significant improvement.
In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged this criticism, highlighting gameplay and monster hunting as key areas requiring substantial upgrades. He stated explicitly, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer aims to showcase the enhanced power and weight of monster encounters, focusing on improved choreography and emotional impact.
Expect a significant combat overhaul in The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) recognizes the shortcomings of previous Witcher games' combat and is committed to addressing them. These improvements are likely to carry over into future installments, particularly given Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.
Interestingly, 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 desire for a swift marriage. Geralt's role involves assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
