CD Projekt recently announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be adding Ciri as a playable character when it launches May 2015.
According to CD Projekt, players won’t be able to switch between Geralt and Ciri at will, but players will assume control of her at certain moments.
“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,” CD Projekt RED communications specialist Robert Malinowski told IGN. “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 will be available sometime in May 2015.
