Another playable character has been revealed in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and she is one that a lot of fans actually wanted. Her name is Ciri and she is a powerful witcheress! CD Projekt Red’s Robert Malinowski said that

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,” Malinowski went on to say “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“.

“We introduce Ciri as supportive narrative tool and not because of gameplay mechanics. The Witcher was always about Geralt and that has not changed, but those handfuls of moments when you play as Ciri provide us with glimpses of how the story feels from the other side.”

“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.

Apparently according to the press release, she will be a fast and agile character who will be quite satisfying to control. The developers are also teasing a mythical power that will be associated with the character.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will release for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One on May 19^th.
