After a first trailer and a technical demo for The Witcher 4, his CD Projekt Red studio once again clearly puts things on his next game.
In the space of six months, The Witcher 4 was treated to a first announcement trailer for Game Awards 2024 and a technical demo on PS5 to highlight the capacity of the new version of theUnreal Engine 5. After having clarified the situation as to this second presentation of his next game, CD Projekt Red also rounded up the angles on another element of the first opus of this new saga at the controls of Ciri.
A crimoine developed on the heroine of The Witcher 4
After a first trailer that had done sensationbut also raised certain eyebrows concerning her heroine, CIRI, The Witcher 4 again showed for the State of Unreal, to illustrate the new capabilities of the engine to display open worlds convincing in a stable manner. Even if it was a technical demo on PS5 and not a gameplay presentation, we were still able to see Ciri in another light. As a reminder, in the first trailer for the game, many had judged that the face of the adoptive girl of Geralt had changed too much, to the point of being for them almost unrecognizable.
Following the recent technical demo of The Witcher 4, a CD project project Projekt Red wanted to clear things on this point in an interview with Kotaku. We thus learn that the model of this older Ciri would actually be a direct copy of that of The Witcher 3suitable for Metahumanthe impressive technology of creating characters from the Unreal Engine 5. The representative, however, signals two subtle changes between the two models: “ slightly enhanced eyebrows, and a more released eye area ».
Anyway, this model displayed in the technical demo would be exactly the same as that used for the first trailer From The Witcher 4. The fact that Ciri displayed a more “round” face there was then to be attributed to the fact that it was a CGI kinematics, with different calibration and lighting. Remember that The Witcher 4 is in full development, and that it should not go out before 2027/2028. Many things can still change, but that would not a priori be the case with his main character.
