They’ve replaced Geralt with a literal female protagonist.
They are claiming it is an organic move.
IGN:
CD Projekt has explained why it went with Ciri as protagonist for The Witcher 4 instead of continuing with Geralt as the main character.
The Witcher 4, just revealed at The Game Awards 2024 with a debut trailer, is the first in a new trilogy of Witcher games set after the events of The Witcher 3.
Speaking exclusively to IGN ahead of the reveal, executive producer Małgorzata Mitręga said Ciri was “the very organic, logical choice.”
“It was always about her, starting from Saga when you read it in the books. She’s an amazing, layered character. And of course, as a protagonist we said goodbye to Geralt previously. So this is a continuation. I guess for all of us it’s like she was meant to be. That was always her.”
Game director Sebastian Kalemba added that because Ciri is younger than Geralt, players will have more freedom to define her character in a way they couldn’t with Geralt. This also affords the developers more space to explore her character.
Hahahahaha.
She was always the main character!
You always wanted to play as a woman in your video game power fantasy!
It’s what everyone wanted!
Please, all of you: take a pledge right now to not buy this game.
You people keep buying these games and they keep making them.
I saw someone on the internet who bought Ubisoft’s “Skull and Bones.”
The only way to prevent these games is to refuse to buy them.
There are so, so many indie games now that do not do this shit.
Buy Chinese games. They’re better and not gay or vaginalized.
Don’t buy from CD Projekt, which is a vaginal company.
This team is ridiculous.
Cyberpunk 2077 was bad enough, but they want to push it even further into the abyss.
People should have known never to trust Polish gamers when Shroud cheated constantly and didn’t even care when he was caught.
