lol people are malding so hard about Ciri in Witcher 4, I'm totally into it now and will for sure play it when it's releasing.

People upset about Ciri not being hot enough are the funniest.

Geralt retired and Ciri became God-Empress.

A Lambert game could work though.

Here is a good interview from CDPR around why Ciri is the main character 

I am  still not happy with how Geralt is no longer the main character but I understand the whole " this is a new narrative " from CDPR 

I just think why change something that works and Geralt is so iconic? Anyway I wont be complaining about this decision anymore and I will comment further once I have played W4 and I can comment objectively on W4 

" It was always about her, starting from Saga when you read it in the books. She's an amazing, layered character. And of course, as a protagonist we said goodbye to Geralt previously. So this is a continuation. I guess for all of us it’s like she was meant to be. That was always her.”

" She's actually about to become the Witcher,” Kalemba explained. “She's about to actually form her own codex, but on her own terms. The way she actually deals with the monsters, the way she deals with quests, the adventures, it's her own unique way. And also I think that she gives more room to be able to tell different stories here and there. Of course, we want to give the opportunity for the player to explore more nuance because this is what we do. But she deserves that.”

" Both Mitręga and Kalemba acknowledged a potential backlash from some corners of the internet at Ciri’s role as protagonist in The Witcher 4, but both insisted Ciri was always going to be the game’s main character."

Cause look to Disney to see that milking out dans favourite without a story to go with ot doesn’t go that well. 
 

Witcher3 wrapped up Geralt as a character. Sure, you could drag him back, but in the best case scenario they would undermine W3. I had three games with Geralt they ended with a high note and CDPR to move forward is a welcome sign to me. According to the interview on FPS podcast Geralt is still in the world, so we will see him, but CDPR is doing to expore a new character. It could be good it could be bad, we will see. Ciri should give them space to try something new.

edit. I am quite surprised that there are people who are surprised that Ciri is the protagonist - that should be the most obvious choice for those who played and finished Witcher3.  When someone asks „why Ciri” my counter question would be „have you ever played previous games?”

That is definitely not the case for Witcher 3. As the crazy big spike of sales happened when Netflix introduced the Witcher series. So a lot of the tens of millions of sales of W3 happened in the last three years. But yeah, the Gen Alpha with their 30 second TikTok conditioned attention span might have issue remembering that as well
