CD Projekt RED recently unveiled a ten-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first The Witcher 4 trailer. A key highlight? The significantly improved appearance of Ciri. The updated model showcases subtle but impactful changes, addressing earlier criticism regarding her design. Following the initial reveal, many felt her appearance was drastically different from previous iterations. This new version, however, appears much more faithful to her original look, likely thanks to improved lighting and corrections for fisheye lens distortion.

Fan reaction remains mixed. Some celebrate this as a direct response to community feedback, while others see the changes as minor technical adjustments or simply better lighting. Social media is alive with debate, with many expressing relief at Ciri's return to a more familiar, "natural" look.
