The Witcher 3 is famous for its divisive love triangle, but an emotionally ambiguous, magical throuple could never stop developer CD Projekt Red from believing in love, so they promise The Witcher 4 will have enough of it.
That's because romance is "a part of the way we make games," director Sebastian Kalemba tells GameSpot in a new interview. "It is a part of human nature.
It's a very normal thing. Without that, I think we wouldn't be able to tell the very full story." While Ciri hasn't yet had the chance to meaningfully explore romance in The Witcher games, Andrzej Sapkowski's books depict the powerful princess as having passionate relationships with both men and women, causing bisexual women around the universe (including me) to rejoice.
One of us, one of us... But these flirtations – and most of Ciri's romantic experience, for that matter – are tinged with the sewer stink of assault, traumatizing Ciri throughout her exhausting coming-of-age.
Ideally, The Witcher 4 allows Ciri to survey all her options in a safer environment where she gets to luxuriate in love, just like Geralt did before her.
