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 highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas requiring significant upgrades. His statement was clear: "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."
Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the intensity and impact of monster battles, focusing on improved choreography and emotional weight.
Witcher 4 promises a revamped combat system. CD Projekt Red recognizes the need for substantial improvements over previous entries, changes that will likely carry over to future installments in the new trilogy starring Ciri.
Interestingly, the developers plan to include Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally set in Novigrad, saw Geralt helping Triss prepare for her wedding to Castello. His tasks included monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
