The Witcher 3, while critically acclaimed, wasn't without its flaws. Many players 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, specifically highlighting the need for significant improvements to both core gameplay mechanics and the monster hunting experience. He stated directly, "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience."

Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase a more impactful and powerful monster-fighting experience, focusing on improved choreography and emotional intensity.

A substantial combat overhaul is anticipated for The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher titles and is actively addressing them. These improvements are likely to carry over into future installments, especially considering Ciri's role as the protagonist of the new trilogy.

Interestingly, developers also plan to feature Triss's wedding. In Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest, originally planned for Novigrad, saw Geralt assisting with wedding preparations, including monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and selecting a gift. This storyline reflects Triss's affection for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
