The Witcher 4 Interview: Ciri backlash and lessons from Cyberpunk 2077

The Game Awards 2024 opened with the long-awaited first trailer for The Witcher 4. The sequel to the game that solidified CD Projekt Red as a top-tier studio is now in full production, telling the story of Ciri, the second protagonist from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. VGC recently spoke to narrative director Phillipp Weber and executive producer Małgorzata Mitręga about the return of the franchise, what lessons were learned from Cyberpunk 2077, and their plans to elevate the RPG space in the same way Witcher 3 did a decade ago.  ► Visit the VGC website for the latest games news: http://www.videogameschronicle.com ► Subscribe to VGC for daily videos: https://bit.ly/subtoVGC ► Follow VGC on Twitter:   / vgc_news   ► Listen to VGC: The Video Game Podcast: https://lnk.to/VGC ► Music by Grant Kirkhope | @grantkirkhope
