The other playable character for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt revealed to be “Ciri”

CD Projekt Red finally revealed the previously teased other playable character for the anticipated finale of the Witcher series, and it’s non other than the white-haired Ciri we saw in the trailers.

Ciri is a Witcher much like Geralt, and is the reason the Wild Hunt broke in search for her. She’s considered a weapon of herself and her abilities make her a target.

“She’s a living weapon… and everyone wants to control her. This, plus she also has her own will and agenda, so it’s not just finding her that counts. I think that is the most important aspect of this character. Geralt knows Ciri since she was a child. She’s Geralt’s apprentice and they have a close emotional bond – he trained her so she could become a witcheress.”

“Ciri is playable only during certain moments in the game – we introduce her to give gamers another perspective in the story to make it even more engaging. You won’t play as her for long periods of time, but since she’s crucial to the plot, we thought that additional insight will allow gamers to better bond with this cool character.”

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming May 2015 for PC, Xbox One and PS4. It was recently delayed a few months for polishing purposes to make sure the game offers a flawless experience like it’s meant to be.
