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

In a recent interview, Witcher 4's game director, Sebastian Kalemba, acknowledged weaknesses in the previous game's gameplay. He specifically highlighted the need for significant improvements to both the core gameplay loop and the monster hunting experience. "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 combat, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.

Expect a substantial combat revamp in The Witcher 4. Fortunately, CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games and is actively addressing them. These improvements will likely carry over to future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist in the upcoming trilogy.

Interestingly, developers plan to include Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally intended for Novigrad, saw Geralt aiding Triss's preparations by eliminating canal monsters, procuring alcohol, and choosing a wedding gift. This storyline hints at Triss's feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
