The Striking Connection Between Tech Demo and Fan Vision

The Witcher 4 community is buzzing after a Reddit user made a fascinating discovery: Ciri’s facial structure in CD Projekt Red’s recent Unreal Engine 5 tech demo bears a remarkable similarity to beloved fan-created artwork. This unexpected parallel has fans wondering if we’ve already gotten our first unofficial look at how Ciri might appear in The Witcher 4.

Side-by-Side: When Official and Fan Art Align

The comparison shows several telling similarities:

  • The distinctive shape of Ciri’s jawline and cheekbones
  • Her piercing green eyes with the same intense gaze
  • The way her scar curves across her face
  • Even her signature slightly tousled white hair

What makes this particularly interesting is that the tech demo character wasn’t explicitly identified as Ciri – but the resemblance to established fan interpretations is striking enough that many believe it’s intentional.

Why This Matters for The Witcher 4

This potential sneak peek suggests CD Projekt Red might be:

  1. Staying true to Ciri’s established look rather than completely redesigning her
  2. Using high-quality fan art as reference for their next-gen model
  3. Testing facial animation systems with a familiar character before finalizing designs

The tech demo’s lighting also shows how Unreal Engine 5 could bring new depth to characters – with realistic skin textures and eyes that truly seem to hold emotion.

Community Reactions: Hope and Speculation

The discovery has sparked enthusiastic discussions:

  • “If this is really Ciri’s new model, they’ve absolutely nailed her”
  • “That scar placement is perfect – exactly how I imagined it”
  • “Now I need to see Geralt in this engine!”

Some fans are even using the comparison to theorize about possible story directions, wondering if the tech demo’s medieval setting hints at time periods we might explore.
