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 game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay, specifically citing combat and monster hunting as areas needing significant improvement. He stated, "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 fights, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.
A substantial combat overhaul is anticipated for The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher titles' combat and is committed to addressing them. These improvements will likely carry over to future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.
Furthermore, developers intend to feature Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally planned for Novigrad, saw Geralt assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift. This storyline reflects Triss's feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
