The Witcher 4 Unveils Ciri as Lead in Ambitious New Chapter
CD Projekt has chosen Ciri as the protagonist for The Witcher 4, marking a shift from Geralt, the series' previous main character. This decision, explained by executive producer Małgorzata Mitręga and game director Sebastian Kalemba, is based on Ciri's rich character development potential and her unique journey as a Witcher. The developers believe Ciri's story offers new narrative opportunities and player engagement, despite anticipating some backlash. The Witcher 4 was revealed at The Game Awards 2024, and CD Projekt aims to avoid past launch issues like those experienced with Cyberpunk 2077.
