Nothing goes against the books lore as it's all in the future and it's yet to be written. I'm sure there will be good explanations for everything and Sapkowski himself is no stranger to changing Ciri. She already lost her elder blood powers once, learned "regular" earth bound magic from Yen, always wanted to undergo the witcher trials but Vesemir and Geralt forbade her. And remember, the conjunction of spheres brought magic and monsters and both are on a decline. That Ciri is overpowered is a simplification based on Witcher 3 times alone. She could have very well lost her powers fighting the white frost. Or magic in general becomes more and more dissipated and unstable for precise teleportation, making that power very dangerous to use. The groundwork for many very reasonable and valid explanations is already there in the lore. I'm not sure why people are surprised. Even in Witcher 3 in the end Ciri walks the path of a Witcher together with Geralt to learn all about the trait. If she would be so overpowered, why learn to fight monsters with silver at all, just dash through hordes of nekkers til they explode... yeah... not how it works. Im stoked to play as Ciri. A true Warrior, and unlike Geralt, not neutral. Ciri always had strong opinions making for powerful emotional choices rather than trying to brush every outcome off like GEralt with "Well, you never know what you gonna get, onwards!" after all Kids got eaten by the Crones 🙂
The fact that this is going to be set later on has me really excited since it opens the game up to more creative liberties with the developers and to explore the witcher world in ways we may not have seen yet.
This is the best justification I've seen yet. I've hated all the incels bitching just because its Ciri, a woman, or because she looks older. So many complaining about her having clearly gone through the trials and whatever. Your explanation is exactly what I've felt but did not have the capability of conveying. Good job! I'm so excited for this!
Honestly I'm more excited to play as Ciri then to play as Geralt again. I love Geralt but it's nice to have something new and Ciri is my favourite character in the series, in Witcher 3 I was always loved the parts where you get to play as Ciri so to have an entire game with her is like a dream. Also according to the devs Ciri is starting her own Witcher school so she may have created her own version of the trial of grasses.
CDPR confirmed Ciri has now gone through the trial of grasses. She's older now and has her old with powers from her earlier training with Yen. Probably has lost or reduced elder blood powers due to ending the white frost or from the trial of grasses. We'll see. Very exciting! I think this won't be out until 2027. Time for another run through Witcher 3.
Same here, I've finished The Witcher 3 main game. I've yet to finished the Blood and Wine and Heart of Stone DLC. I will probably play it from the beginning again.
Nice reaction. There are some folks taking issue with Ciri fully becoming a witcher because women can't go thru the trials. I say nay, because her circumstances are different. Yes she has elder blood & she's also descended from the 1st witcher. That changes things. W3 set this all in motion. I think CDPR will give us backstory in game on what the timeframe is & what's happened since then.
Anti woke UA-camrs are desperate for content and can't wait for the game to come out and explain it. They need those sweet views now since the dragon age drama has died down lol
They just went into full production with W4, it's at LEAST 3 years away, probably 4. Also they hired a new VA because the one who did Ciri in W3 retired a few years after W3 released. I personally like the new actor in this trailer. Plus even if the original one did her voice again it'd still be different as she is in the early 50s now, not possible to be identical.
Did someone mention the book lore? The games are a continuation of the books' story (after book 7). CDPR wrote all their games as sequels to the books, so they can expand the book lore. What happened to Ciri here - obviosly, she's a mutant now. She went through the Trial of the Grasses and now she has cat eyes and can drink potions. Probably she did it in a new witcher school (new medalion). Also I think she lost her Elder Blood powers because of this. But now she’s using magic. That thing you saw she did with water - that’s how magic worked in the books. You find a “magic place” and you draw power from it. This is another thing that CDPR bring up from book lore, which is awesome. Ciri did study magic with Yennefer as a child in the books.
I've heard they're going to use the assets frok this game to help build 1 so it's probably going to be a year or 2 after witcher 4 atleast but hopefully I'm wrong as I'm excited to play it
@@mxbubbles4753 You're right about the first part. They'll also be transferring the tech (modifications to the UE5 made by CDPR). Here's hoping you're wrong about the second part tho!
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 what kind of insufferable breed of troll are you? This is my last reply so know anything say in reply will be to yourself. But "YOU DON'T ENJOY THE THING I LOVE CORRECTLY" is pathetic
Hey Birdy. Thank you for ALL you are doing. You make my dark days brighter. Just finished watching The Walkind Dead walkthrough, it was so emotional, hoping for season 2. Sincere love from Ukraine ♥
"It's just 10 years" 10 years is a very long time i.m.opinion,you can earn alot of money and work experience by then,so its not "only" 10 years,10 years is a long time for game sequel. Gta 6 is already in its 11th years,its not short of a wait in my opinion.
The game is in full production using the Unreal 5 engine. With that engine you can make a full game supporting all platforms much faster than with their own engine. CDPR said they will give us trailer crumbs at a steady pace to keep interest until they announce the release date. I don't think they can keep a project in full production for 10 years. So I expect a release in 2028, maybe as early as 2027. They started Witcher 4 pre-production after the Witcher 3 DLC's. Ciri was selected as the protagonist. After the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC in September 2023 CDPR moved Witcher 4 to full production. They also started preproduction of the new Cyberpunk game and the Witcher 1 remake. So we will have a lot of nice things to look forward to from CDPR. Usually an AAA game takes about 5 years in full production to release. That means 2028-2029 for Witcher 4. Game Awards spoke about a game for the next decade when introducing Witcher 4. So it could be the release will be 2030. However, it could be they were talking about the game quality pushing the boundaries of the game engine. I won't be surprised if Witcher 4 will move on to Unreal 6 and beyond before release and be state of the art graphics wise at release just as Cyberpunk 2077 was. This time they won't mess up the release by supporting old consoles. I expect Witcher 4 to require PS6 and it's Microsoft new equivalent. It's already running on the RTX 5090 which is not yet out. That's the benchmark
A lot of people say she looks different which is understandable lol i mean we also last saw her on ps4s at like 360 p haha also she's grown up fighting monsters prolly ages you a bit.
She went through the trial of the grasses apparently. That’s why she has gray hair, cat eyes and can take potions.
An adult human cannot undergo mutations, he is already formed. This is just nonsense from the developers.

She is 3 times the size she used to be(complimentary). The trial of the grasses is a hell of a drug,clearly. I'm so excited for this
Lol the trial isn't one drug.
It's a multitude of decoctions and other elixirs.
If you survive is transforms you into a Witcher
@dcmastermindfirst9418 the joke
You
Like,i know. I've played witcher like six times, read a good amount of the lore etc etc.
Is just joke

Lol Ciri is literally OLDER!!!!
Why can't people figure this out????
My bet is this game is a decade after W3.
Witcher 4 release probably late 2027 ciri went through the trail of the grasses you'll probably see it in witcher 4
A lot of people say she looks different which is understandable lol i mean we also last saw her on ps4s at like 360 p haha also she's grown up fighting monsters prolly ages you a bit.
Even geralt and yennifer looked different in there witcher 3 trailers
I do wish we could get the original VA back, but im sure there is a reason why they went with a new one.
There is, because the original VA retired years ago. So they didn't have much choice but to recast.
Let's gooooo!
