CDPR acknowledged weak gameplay in The Witcher 3

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

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 substantial upgrades to both core gameplay 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 enhanced power and intensity of monster battles, focusing on improved choreography and emotional impact.

Expect a major combat overhaul in The Witcher 4. Reassuringly, CD Projekt Red recognizes the shortcomings of past Witcher games' combat, and these improvements are likely to carry over into future installments, especially considering Ciri's starring role in the new trilogy.

Interestingly, developers plan to include Triss's wedding as a storyline element. Originally intended for Novigrad in Witcher 3, the "Ashen Marriage" quest will see Geralt aiding in preparations, including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift. This storyline reflects Triss's affection for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage.
