Arguably one of the better fates for Ciri, as Witcher 4's main character she could continue the School of the Wolf's legacy. Player choices throughout the game dictated her survival and destiny, but one outcome resulted in Ciri becoming a Witcher herself. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt centered around her final fate.

The Witcher 4 Could Explore Ciri's Witcher Ending Or Embrace New CharactersĪnother significant character of the Witcher universe is Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, more commonly known as Ciri. Without Geralt, the Witcher series would be freed from the constraints of his story and explore other chapters of the universe's history. Monsters ran amok, and many civilizations required the services of monster slayers to keep the peace. Witchers were rarely welcomed in villages and cities, but Vesemir experienced a short time where that was not the case. Playing Vesemir in an era where Witchers are not dying out, and the Continent is reverted to its former state, could allow players to explore an age that was spoken of in the trilogy. He is the oldest known living Witcher and survived tragedies such as the sacking of Kaer Morhen. Vesemir has always played a prominent role in Geralt of Rivia's story.

The sorceress Geralt didn't romance in Witcher 3 (either Triss, Keira, or Yennefer) could also grow to fulfill another role in the game's narrative. Other Witchers, such as Lambert and Eskel, may need to step up to fill the void left behind by their friend. While Geralt of Rivia has always held significant sway in the world, his absence (or retirement) could be the motivating force for the growth of other characters. Part of the beauty of The Witcher's universe is its world-building and cast of complex companions. To avoid dragging Geralt's story on too long and ruining satisfying character development, CDPR should turn its attention to other characters instead. Player choice dictated the outcome of these stories and crafted a satisfying end for the monster slayer. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt provided a conclusion to Geralt of Rivia's story with multiple endings. CDPR's The Witcher series features Geralt of Rivia as the protagonist of the trilogy, but The Witcher 4 could move other characters into the spotlight.
