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

In a recent interview, The Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He highlighted combat and monster hunting as areas needing significant improvement.

"We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience," he stated.

Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the impactful and powerful nature of monster fights, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.

The Witcher 4 promises a major combat overhaul. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games and aims to address them, improvements likely to carry over into future installments featuring Ciri as the protagonist of a new trilogy.

Furthermore, developers intend to include Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally planned for Novigrad, saw Geralt helping Triss prepare for her wedding to Castello by ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift.
