CDPR Admits Game Flaws in Witcher 3 Release

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 specifically highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas needing significant improvement. His words: "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."

The director emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster encounters, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.

Expect a substantial combat overhaul in The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games' combat and is committed to addressing them, improvements likely to carry over into future installments featuring Ciri as the protagonist of the new trilogy.

Interestingly, the developers plan to include Triss's wedding. 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 aids in wedding preparations, tasks including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and gift selection for the bride.
