CD Projekt Red Admits Witcher 3's Gameplay Falters

The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many fans felt the combat system fell short.

In a recent interview, Witcher 4's director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay, specifically highlighting the need for significant improvements to combat and monster hunting. His statement: “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.

Expect a significant combat overhaul in The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games' combat and is committed to addressing them. These improvements will likely carry over to future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.

Interestingly, the developers also plan to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest was originally intended for Novigrad. The storyline depicts Triss's affection for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage. Geralt aids in the preparations by eliminating canal monsters, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
