The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many fans felt the combat system needed significant improvement.
In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged this, highlighting gameplay and monster hunting as key areas for enhancement. He stated explicitly, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster encounters, focusing on improved fight choreography and emotional intensity.
Witcher 4 promises a major combat overhaul. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games' combat and is actively addressing them. These improvements will likely carry over into future installments, especially given Ciri's role as the protagonist in the new trilogy.
Interestingly, developers also plan to feature Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally intended for Novigrad, saw Geralt assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift. This storyline highlights Triss's developing feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
