Ciri has been considered a secondary protagonist by author Andrej Sapkowski for quite some time, while The Witcher 3's widely accepted canon ending has Ciri on the path to becoming a Wi🥂tcher. She was seen as a nat♕ural replacement for Geralt by many, but there's a subsection of fans upset with her inclusion as The Witcher 4's main character.

CD Projekt Red apparently even knew that pushback could happen, as narrative director Phillip Weberꦍ recently explained that the devsܫ "knew it could be controversial", despite how obvious it seems to so many.

The Witcher 4 Lead Addresses Negative Reactions To Ciri As The Protagonist

"I think we definitely knew it could be controversial for some people because, of course, in the previous three Witcher games, Geralt was the protagonist and I think everyone really loved playing as Geralt," says Weber. "I really loved playing as Geralt, so I think we’re aware that if some people think right now that they would still prefer to be Geralt, I do think that’s a legitimate concern, so if this is where that coꦦncern is coming from, that’s valid.🐠”

We all know that the best way to drown out that kind of noise is to silence those doubts with action, and Weber states that "a lot of interesting thi🍷ngs" can be done with Ciri to make her worthy of the gam🌜e's main character. Hen then goes on to stress that the decision to make Ciri the protagonist of The Witcher 4 wasn't a whim, and it was made "a very long time ago".

Of course, it's worth pointing out that a lot of noise was always going to be made from a certain crowd thanks to the fact that Ciri is simply a woman. Arguments about her appearance swiftly appeared oඣn social media after the reveal, as were the claims that The Witcher is now woke and that Ciri is ugly. Thankfully, the more normal among us are just thrilled to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ge𝓡tting 😼another Witcher game in the near future.
