Reactions toThe Witcher 4’s trailer have been strong. Despite how beloved Geralt still is, many players are excited about the change of pace.
Now, aWitcher 3mod offers a chance to play as the Witcher 4’s new protagonist, long before CD Projekt Red can bring their upcoming title to release. Modders work fast!
Sebastian Kalemba, VP and Game Director atCD Projekt Red, gave the mod a signal boost shortly after its release - something that the mod’s author, Forlornsito, clearly appreciated in the replies.
With creative use of vanilla and custom assets, Forlornsito’s mod lets you change Ciri’s Witcher 3 appearance into the closest-possible equivalent to what was seen in the newWitcher 4 trailer, recently showcased atThe Game Awards.
As with most game mods, the Nexus Mods page for"The Witcher 4 Ciri - Toxic Mutant"offers a comprehensive guide to getting everything up and running, alongside a description of what exactly the mod changes.
In short, it does exactly what it claims to. Witcher 3’s Ciri will become the one from Witcher 4, including the in-game sections where you actually play as Ciri. If you want to get behind the wheel of Ciri as a full-blown Witcher, now you can.
CD Projekt RED Explains Why Ciri Is The Protagonist Of The Witcher 4 And Not Geralt
CDPR explains why Ciri is the protagonist for The Witcher 4 and not Geralt, as the studio claims this has been decided long ago.
The mod page also includes Forlornsito’s thoughts on the overall project, and they seem just as excited as CD Projekt Red’s VP, if not more.
Holy cow. This mod took the hell out of me! I manually edited and sculpted the vanilla meshes, deleted LOD’s so that you may always have the HD version, and fix numerous bugs with the meshes. So far, the only visible glitch is a little bit of overlapping in the chainmail and hooded Ciri but nothing game breaking.
Despite some minor visual bugs, a quick browse through the comment’s on the mod’s ‘posts’ page shows universal praise for the mod creator’s work. That, and a couple culture warriors who gotmad at the Witcher 4’s trailer, but hey, welcome to the internet.
This is my first concept version of the new appearance of the Ciri from The Witcher 4. The blue eyes, were taken directly from the trailer, I upscaled them and fixed the textures back in Photoshop. I know there are a few differences between the outfits but overall I think I nailed a very similar outfit.
Witcher 3 Mods Make A Witcher 4 Experience Even More Accessible
As recommended onVG247, you don’t just have to use this one mod to get the most out of Ciri here.“Better Call Ciri"gives you reliable access to the Witcher franchise’s upcoming main character, letting you enjoy Forlornsito’s work more often.
While there can certainly be some compatibility problems when running a game with multiple mods, there shouldn’t be a lot of problems if you’re careful.
There’s a reasonSkyrimplayers tend to list their mod count in the hundreds. While Skyrim is a bit of anextreme example, it does go to show that you really can bring a game to your exact tastes with a little bit of work.
