CDPR acknowledged weak gameplay in The Witcher 3

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 and the monster hunting experience. His statement: "We want to improve the gameplay and the monster hunting experience," underscores this commitment.

Kalemba emphasized that the Witcher 4 trailer should showcase the enhanced power and intensity of monster combat, focusing on improved choreography and emotional impact.

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

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