One Witcher 4 Character Could Have Their Cake and Eat It Too

As a seasoned gamer with years of Witcher series under my belt, I must say that the prospect of The Witcher 4 without Geralt is a daunting one. However, if there’s one character who could potentially fill his boots, it’s Ciri. Her connection to Geralt, her compelling storyline, and her unique abilities make her an ideal candidate for the lead role.

As a dedicated fan eagerly awaiting the next chapter in The Witcher saga, it’s no secret that the absence of Geralt as our protagonist feels daunting. After all, he’s not just a character but an integral part of what makes The Witcher series unique and iconic. With Geralt stepping out of the spotlight, it seems like a Herculean task for CD Projekt RED to continue the franchise without its charismatic lead.

One character who may carry the torch on from Geralt is Ciri, which would solve the conundrum of abandoning the face of The Witcher series, while also focusing the story on someone different. Ciri is a compelling character in her own right, and is more than capable of leading The Witcher 4 as the player character. It would be strange, however, to have a story focused on Ciri that doesn’t even mention Geralt. Including Geralt would give a connection for old players, while also giving Ciri, and thus a new protagonist, a chance to take center stage.

Ciri’s Role in The Witcher 3

There are whispers suggesting that the main character in The Witcher 4 might be Ciri. Making Ciri the central figure of The Witcher 4 would strike a balance, offering fans a sense of continuity while also providing a fresh take on the Witcher series.

Ciri is a character who straddles two realms; she plays a pivotal role in Geralt’s story but also carves out her own destiny with multiple conclusions in The Witcher 3. While she is impacted by Geralt, it seems that the decisions she makes are primarily hers to make.

In The Witcher 3, players have already encountered Ciri as a playable character. There are instances in the game where control of Ciri is handed over to the player, and during these segments, she has unique abilities and magical powers at her disposal. Players can also select her dialogue, allowing them to act out Ciri’s role much like they do Geralt’s, although her abilities cannot be improved upon.

Ciri’s Combat Skills and Magic

In the gameplay segments featuring Ciri in The Witcher 3, players found favor, possibly due to her endearing character, her competent abilities, and the fact that these sections provided an opportunity for CD Projekt RED to demonstrate rather than narrate aspects of her story. While not every aspect can be repeated in The Witcher 4, Ciri has already demonstrated her potential as a main character and her capacity to drive a compelling narrative.

If Ciri takes center stage in The Witcher 4, it would mean that Geralt’s presence within the franchise wouldn’t be entirely phased out. Given their close relationship, it would be hard to develop a game featuring Ciri without referencing Geralt in some way. Although Geralt might not be the primary character in The Witcher 4, he could still have an important role similar to his part in The Witcher 3. He may even get dedicated gameplay sections that contribute to the overall narrative of the new game.

It’s not entirely out of the question that Ciri could star in The Witcher 4, as some fans have proposed this possibility given her exceptional magical abilities and distinct powers. These characteristics could enable her to face off against unique adversaries like Gaunter O’Dimm. Additionally, Ciri has received witcher training and one of her storylines concludes with her embracing the life on The Path, suggesting that a title change might not be necessary.
