CD Projekt Red's Witcher series has been at the top of the list when it comes to the best RPG franchises, especially following the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015. That's ultimately what makes The Witcher 4 such an anticipated title, and its decision to take some new directions increases the intrigue surrounding it all the more. The most significant change being made to the Witcher formula in The Witcher 4 is the introduction of Ciri as its lead protagonist, effectively replacing Geralt of Rivia. With that change also comes the beginning of a brand-new saga for The Witcher, so players can expect plenty of other changes as well.
