The Witcher 4 Will Have a Tough Time Surpassing This Cursed Character Design

It’s easy to overlook the impact of character design on games, especially considering other eye-catching factors like flashy combat elements and detailed environmental design take center stage in the consuming public. That doesn’t mean sub-par character aesthetics or mannerisms can go under the radar, as Street Fighter 5‘s Abigail, Street Fighter X Tekken‘s Mega Man, and Forspoken‘s Frey have so tragically discovered over the last few years. Paying extra attention to what a character looks and acts like can yield dividends for franchises, and themed character design is essential for improving a game’s overall visual experience. The Witcher is a veteran series in this regard, as its Curses have made for intriguing viewing in its iterations, and The Witcher 4 will have a tough time surpassing the bar set by one of its cursed personas.
