Summary
- CDPR planned Ciri as the lead for Witcher 4 since 2014.
- They planned it while working on the Blood and Wine DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
- Let Geralt relax and play Gwent in his vineyard.
Geralt got his happily ever after at the end of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt's Blood and Wine DLC. A vineyard estate in possibly the most beautiful part of the continent, Yennefer moving in with him, and his daughter Ciri dropping by to visit often enough. So, why would we want to pull him out of this and send him back on the road for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 4?
168澳洲幸运5开奖网: The Witc🤡her 4 Already Sounds Too Big
CDPR꧟ could learn a lot from the incredibly underrated Witc🎐her 2.
It's perhaps this thought that led to Ciri becoming the protagonist of the next game. If it wasn't evident by the end of the base game, the good ending on the DLC definitely made it so. It turns out that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:CD Projekt Red decided u𒆙pon this while the DLC was in development, over a decade ago. 💎So, any misconceptions you've had about this being a new-gen decision are false.
CDPR Chose Ciri As The Lead For Witcher 4 Back In 2014
In an interview with , one of the lead developers revealed that the plan was in motion since they were working on the Blood and Wine DLC for The Witcher 3 (thanks, ). "It was pretty early on we realised that [Blood & Wine] is where it ends, and also pretty early on, we knew that we wanted to work wi🌊th Ciri later on…even like 2014, it was already an idea floating around the studio that she’s next.
"In Witcher 3, Geralt is just helping out…he is there for her. So it was pretty𒐪 clear wꦡe want her as the next main person, main character.”
Even the good ending of the base game itself established that Ciri would become a Witcher, with168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Geralt passing on the mantle to her via her own 𓆉silver sword. So, any justification for complaints about Ciri as the protagonist are absolutely baseless, because it was always the plane.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:In fact, even Geralt actor Doug Cockle got annoyed with people calling the decision 'woke'. "I celebrate Ciri, I celebrate her being the protagonist," he said. "So all you people who think i﷽t's woke... if you read the books, then you understand why CD Projekt went down this avenue. There's a whole rich world of stuff to explore with Ciri, that they didn't do when they put her into Witcher 3, because the story was about Geralt. If you think it's woke, read the damn books..."
