it was a pretty crappy trailer imo but I'm glad they didn't chicken out and went for ciri as the protagonist

Seems like the rumors that Geralt was out were correct.

it was not so bad

so i wait more gameplay to have idea

I suck at combat in Witcher 3, reinstalled and uninstalled five times in five years, and I'll suck at combat in Witcher 4, so have fun I guess. Absolutely freakin gorgeous game, but not for me. I'll wait for TES6, which will probably come out after Witcher 5. I mean, after Witcher 5 Complete Edition is on sale for 10 bucks.

Borderlands 4 can shut up and take my money, though.

Replacing the protagonist with a chick. Commence the "Woke!" howls and gnashing of teeth.

Cinematic trailer with appropriate diversity and a questionable past releases go brrr.

[Yzal]

Ah yes, a game trailer with zero gameplay in it.

That's not what "woke" is, but you probably already know that.

Woke would be if all the white men in the game are weak, evil idiots, and all the women and POC in the game are bold, courageous, and much more intelligent victims of the former. Like Horizon Zero Dawn, for instance. It's not the gender of the protagonist that makes a work "woke".

Nobody calls Terminator 2 or Alien, or most of the Tomb Raider series "woke", because they're not.

So no sign and potion system this time?

She quite obviously uses both in this trailer. Some of the signs are so quickly done they're easy to miss, but the potion was kind of right there in our faces.

Aside: people upthread say Ciri's (aktchually) not a Witcher, but the potion she drinks sure does turn her eyes into cat eyes. It looks like she's a Witcher, but only when she drinks that potion.

Now I'm curious what kind of excuse they'll use to allow human to drink lethal witcher's potion.
Ciri is trained as witcher but still a human, she should never be able to use them.

Ciri will make an excellent protagonist, but W3 was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious that I won't even bother with a new game unless they switch gameplay up a bit.

well after witcher 3 many speculate ciri is protagonist in witcher 4, we make meme about her in cyberpunk

so it is not really surprise
