This Is No Longer Geralt's Story — The Witcher 4 Dev Explains Why Ciri Is the New Lead

When the game will be out, you'll be able to see for yourself and fully embrace her character, her story. And I think that will be the moment to make opinions and make the calls. We showed her in various situations, two emotional states [that were] very distinct from one another. And there are many, many more parts of her that we will show in the future. For me, personally, reading the books, it's very clear that the story slowly transitions from being Geralt's story to really being Ciri's story, sometimes narrated through the eyes of Geralt. Picking Ciri is a choice we made years ago, and this is how it's gonna be. And you will see in the game how it will play out.
