In The Witcher 4, a significant shift is underway. Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, or Ciri, steps into the spotlight, replacing Geralt as the protagonist. This change has ignited considerable speculation about how it will reshape gameplay, especially the combat system. Recently, CD Projekt RED offered some intriguing insights during a podcast episode.
The developers highlighted a scene from the game's trailer showcasing Ciri battling a monster. She uses a chain—a charming callback to The Witcher 1—to subdue her foe. However, it's her fighting style that truly stands out: fluid, acrobatic, and unlike anything Geralt could manage.
The developers themselves described the difference:
"There was this one scene where we see the chain, which is a tribute to The Witcher 1. When she grabs the monster’s head with it and pins it to the ground, she also performs an additional flip, which was really cool because you can’t imagine Geralt doing something like that. He’s very… I’d say he’s agile, but he’s also very… he feels almost like a ‘block’ in a way—he’s bulky and heavy. And she [Ciri] is just… she’s practically like liquid compared to [Geralt]."
This comparison perfectly encapsulates the contrast between Ciri and Geralt. Geralt's combat relies on strength and precise strikes. Ciri's, however, is faster, more dynamic, and infused with her inherent agility. Her acrobatic maneuvers promise a thrilling, fresh combat experience, a stark departure from Geralt's grounded style.
With Ciri leading The Witcher 4, players can anticipate a more fluid and fast-paced combat system reflecting her unique skills and personality. As CD Projekt RED continues to unveil details, anticipation builds. Will Ciri's gameplay live up to Geralt's legendary status? Only time will tell.
