She&#8217;s an amazing, layered character. And of course, as a protagonist we said goodbye to Geralt previously. So this is a continuation. I guess for all of us it\u2019s like she was meant to be. That was always her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Game director Sebastian Kalemba added that because Ciri is younger than Geralt, players will have more freedom to define her character in a way they couldn\u2019t with Geralt. This also affords the developers more space to explore her character.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cShe&#8217;s actually about to become the Witcher,\u201d Kalemba explained. \u201cShe&#8217;s about to actually form her own codex, but on her own terms. The way she actually deals with the monsters, the way she deals with quests, the adventures, it&#8217;s her own unique way. And also I think that she gives more room to be able to tell different stories here and there. Of course, we want to give the opportunity for the player to explore more nuance because this is what we do. But she deserves that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Both Mitr\u0119ga and Kalemba acknowledged a potential backlash from some corners of the internet at Ciri\u2019s role as protagonist in The Witcher 4, but both insisted Ciri was always going to be the game\u2019s main character.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cThere was an intention behind this choice,\u201d Kalemba said. \u201cIt was far from roulette. It wasn&#8217;t random. I remember we had discussions nine years ago, we were talking about who&#8217;s next? The very, very instant answer was Ciri. There are many reasons behind that. We&#8217;ve already mentioned a few. But she really deserves a stage and we want players to really experience her story because she has so much to tell, so much to prove. The amount of challenges that are in front of her give us so much amazing energy and fuel to create an epic saga that we had no choice but to go with it. We all felt that this is the way. I believe this is the super right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve got plenty more exclusive content on The Witcher 4, including <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-witcher-4-12-vital-trailer-details-revealed-by-cd-projekt-red\">a trailer breakdown<\/a> and an interview with CD Projekt where the developer explains <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/how-cd-projekt-plans-to-avoid-a-cyberpunk-2077-launch-disaster-with-the-witcher-4\">why The Witcher 4 will avoid a Cyberpunk 2077-style launch disaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And be sure to check out IGN&#8217;s round-up of <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-game-awards-2024-everything-announced\">everything announced at The Game Awards 2024<\/a> for more on what&#8217;s coming to the world of gaming in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
