CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight for fans? The significantly improved portrayal of Ciri.

This updated model features subtle but impactful changes, addressing earlier criticism regarding her appearance. Following the initial reveal, many felt her design was unrecognizable. The new version, however, appears much more faithful to her original look, likely thanks to refined lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.

Fan reaction remains mixed. Some celebrate this as a direct result of community feedback, while others see it as simply improved lighting or minor technical adjustments. Social media is alive with debate, with many expressing satisfaction that Ciri's more familiar and "natural" appearance has returned.
