The Witcher 4 to Feature Ciri as Protagonist with Complex Moral Choices

CD Projekt Red's upcoming RPG emphasizes Ciri's distinct approach to destiny and morality, diverging from Geralt's legacy.

CD Projekt Red has confirmed Ciri as the protagonist of The Witcher 4, marking a shift from Geralt's narrative focus in previous games.
The game's reveal trailer highlights Ciri's actions, which are described as emotionally driven and different from Geralt's more detached methods.
A major theme in the story is the contrast between Ciri and a Stromford villager named Mioni, who accepts her sacrificial destiny, while Ciri resists predetermined fates.
Developers emphasize morally ambiguous choices in the game, reflecting Andrzej Sapkowski's storytelling style and Eastern European cultural influences.
The cinematic trailer, created in collaboration with Platige Image, showcases Slavic artistic elements and introduces a new monster called the Bauk.
