People being offended by Ciri being the main character in Witcher 4 (possibly) is another example of this weird movement of people forcing themselves to be offended 💀.I really have no idea why ppl are so easily upset over everything these days 😂pic.twitter.com/4zQxFrachv
But there is also a certain fanbase that isn’t sure why this is happening when a few years back people were asking for game featuring Ciri. Fans can not understand the hate for the female character despite the previous game setting the story for her to take over.
Fans Want Geralt of Rivia in The Game
It is speculated that Cirilla may be the main character and Geralt may take the role of a mentor in the game. Fans have said that game will fail due to this alleged changed if this turns out to be true.

Then why call it Witcher 4? Just make a new game series.

“He’s attacking gamers!“No. Comments are obvious these people haven’t played the games. And I highlighted what I was referring too in a tweet.I’ve called out Kotaku and other outlets for their nonsense over the years. I’ll do that for anyone.pic.twitter.com/H9052ZMdKW
Another fan added:
Given the recent woke comments coming from CD Project Red there’s no hope whatsoever that this game is going to be any good at all.
Despite all this controversy and discussion around this, it makes sense for the game to focus on Princess Cirilla. The last game allowed players to play as her at times and players have loved that.
The combat and gameplay impressed fans and this could only improve in the upcoming game. Fans should give the character a chance and there is massive potential in Princess Cirilla to take the franchise ahead.
What are your thoughts about this? Are you happy with this alleged decision? Let us know in the comments!
