While The Witcher 3 enjoys widespread acclaim, its action RPG mechanics weren't without flaws. Even dedicated fans acknowledged shortcomings in the combat system.

In a recent interview, The Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, addressed specific gameplay weaknesses. He highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas demanding significant upgrades. His statement was succinct: "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."

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

A substantial combat overhaul is anticipated for The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) acknowledges the need for considerable improvements compared to previous Witcher titles. These enhancements will likely extend to future installments, given Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.

Interestingly, developers plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest was originally slated for Novigrad. The storyline depicts Triss's affection for Castello and her wish for a swift marriage. Geralt's role involves assisting with preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
