Witcher 3 devs "knew it from the get go' that they wanted Ciri as protagonist for Witcher 4 back in 2014
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. One of the lead developers behind The Witcher 4 says the team has known Ciri would be the protagonist for over 10 years. In an interview featured in PC Gamer issue 410, the team behind The Witcher 3 reveals that plans to place Ciri at the forefront of the next saga were in motion as early as 2014. 'It was pretty early on we realised that [Blood & Wine] is where it ends, and also pretty early on, we knew that we wanted to work with Ciri later on…even like 2014, it was already an idea floating around the studio that she's next. In Witcher 3, Geralt is just helping out…he is there for her. So it was pretty clear we want her as the next main person, main character.' In a recent behind-the-scenes video published on the GameStar YouTube channel, The Witcher 4 game director Sebastian Kalemba doubles down on this longstanding vision. 'We knew it from the get-go,' Kalemba says. 'I remember a discussion with Badowski. During Blood and Wine, we'd been talking about Ciri, and why it's a good choice. Eight years, nine years ago, we already had a very solid motivation for why this is important and why this should be the next step for us. We knew it already there. Of course it wasn't that crystallised, but the big idea was already there, and set in stone.' Also appearing in the video were CD Projekt Red's global community project director, Marcin Momot, and Pawel Mielniczuk, the art director. They discussed the studio's excitement to return to the Continent and explore it from Ciri's perspective. While the next Witcher game, often referred to as Polaris, is still deep in development, the creative team's early clarity about Ciri's role suggests the studio is building her arc as a centrepiece of a new saga, not just a continuation. The Witcher's future, it seems, was decided long before Geralt ever hung up his swords. First look at The Witcher 4 shows Ciri is the star, but that sure sounds like Geralt at the end to me.

Rare battle for Świątek
Follow live coverage of the fourth round at Roland Garros with U.S. stars Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe aiming to join Tommy Paul in the quarters Getty Images The fourth round of the 2025 French Open is in full swing as several American stars aim for the quarterfinals at Roland Garros in Paris. Ben Shelton (13) trails Carlos Alcaraz (2), looking to join Tommy Paul (12) in the quarters, with Frances Tiafoe (15) leading Daniel Altmaier. It's Aryna Sabalenka (1) vs. Zheng Qinwen (8) and Iga Świątek (5) vs. Elina Svitolina (13) in the women's singles last eight after wins today.

Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Getty Images A problem Swiatek has had at Roland Garros, from a watchability perspective, is that she's tended to win so easily that her matches have lacked entertainment value. That's what made the start of this set and that game at 2-2 in particular so compelling. The rarity of seeing Świątek having to dig so deep and find a way to turn the tide. In the first set, Świątek was defending the balls she was running down — not that there were very many — using topspin and lobs. It wasn't really working, with her shots either flying long or giving Rybakina an easy ball to put away. This set, she's started sliding into defensive positions with a continental grip, hitting a short slice, especially on the forehand, to get the ball low on Rybakina and make her hit up, rather than flat or down. It's drawn a couple more errors than the first plan. Getty Images Świątek went on a run of 11 straight points there, and has now won 12 of the last 13. Five games in a row for the defending champion, from 0-2 to 5-2. Four fixtures today. One is yet to be decided, with three match line-ups certain: Taylor Townsend/Evan King (4) vs. Estelle Cascino/Geoffrey Blancaneaux Christian Harrison/Nicole Melichar-Martinez vs. Laura Siegemund/Édouard Roger-Vasselin Robert Galloway/Jiang Xinyu vs. Andrea Vavassori/Sara Errani Getty Images Iga Świątek surfs into a forehand passing shot down the line like she's catching a wave and breaks Rybakina to love. This match has turned on that missed volley from Rybakina and Świątek's feet are squeaking across the clay like only hers can. Rybakina 6-1, 2-4* Świątek All the momentum and confidence seems to have drained out of Elena Rybakina and into Iga Świątek. Four games in a row, two breaks in a row for Świątek, who can now serve to make it 5-2 in the second set! How costly will that missed volley prove to be for the 12th seed? Huge couple of games there, both going Świątek's way. After benefitting from that Rybakina missed volley, the defending champion eventually holds for 3-2 that also saw her serve three double faults when up game point. It really was an extraordinary sequence. But she got through it, and is ahead in a set for the first time today. Getty Images Rybakina 6-1, *2-3 Świątek Thrice Świątek has game point with an advantage, thrice she has double-faulted. She obviously wants to put some pace on her second serves rather than just putting slow balls into Rybakina's side which she will almost certainly smack away, but still. Finally, a good serve at deuce, and she powers the ball away for a winner as if it has insulted her personally. Rybakina now, looking to make that profligacy count, advantage and a mini-fist-pump to her box. Ordinary shot into the net, another deuce. This game going on for 10 minutes or so now! And Rybakina hangs her head as she misses a very makeable backhand into open court to her left, shunting it wide. A big first serve from Świątek, return netted, and that is a big hold for the Pole. Świątek gets the dip. First, a few cheap errors give her a second break point in the fourth game of the set. Rybakina takes control of the point and draws a weak lob from the four-time champion, but it's so weak that Rybakina doesn't look sure of what to do with it and the ball ends up in the net. Huge service game for Świątek now, who needs to consolidate this break. Getty Images Two games all in the second set! At break point Elena Rybakina was in total control of the point, could and probably should have smashed it away at the net to go back to deuce. Then a floaty, loopy return, Rybakina poised for the simple overhand winner. No! She mistimed it horribly, jumping too early, her shot going almost instantly downwards at an acute angle to land in the net. How has she missed that? Świątek break and we are back level. A momentum-shifting point? Rybakina 6-1, 2-1* Świątek Rybakina looks fallible, human, for the first time in this match after a couple of errors. 30-40 and Świątek's first break point opportunity of the entire match (Rybakina has had six). Massive ace and the chance is gone. But the Kazakh nets and another break point... Getty Images Zheng Qinwen (8)'s match with Liudmila Samsonova (19) went to a first-set tiebreak, and the Chinese player took it 7-5. Close match so far. Zheng loves these courts, having won Olympic gold in last summer's Olympic Games. Getty Images Rybakina's level is about as high as it gets right now. Unless she drastically raises her own, Świątek will need her opponent to have a dip to stay in this match. Rybakina 6-1 *2-1 Świątek Rybakina takes the first two games of the set, eight games to one so far in this match, before an important hold for Świątek. The defending champion needs to find something if she wants to triumph in Paris again. Getty Images Following on from Matt, Świątek acknowledged this week that in her humbling defeats in Madrid and Rome to Coco Gauff and Danielle Collins respectively there were times when she stopped running for balls. It happened here in the final game of that first set too, as Rybakina sent yet another backhand fizzing past her. Świątek, who spent some time off the court after the end of the set, needs to lift herself to avoid a first Roland Garros defeat since 2021. Always struck incidentally when seeing Rybakina in person how cleanly she strikes a ball. A joy to watch when she's playing like this. Getty Images When Iga Świątek was knocked out of the Madrid Open by Coco Gauff earlier this month, footwork was the issue. Her defensive footwork and general movement, which is close to peerless and one of her greatest strengths, was absent. It seemed stiff and stilted throughout the afternoon in a way that it rarely does on clay. Usually, she glides across the court with a lethal combination of ease and speed, sliding into shots but never through them, then hustling back into position and jumping on the first chance to end the point. As James just pointed out, not so today either. GO FURTHER Coco Gauff cruises past Iga Swiatek to reach Madrid Open final for first time The hoary cliché says that the eyes are the window to the soul. For Iga Świątek, it's her feet. Elena Rybakina is serving consistently and creating a lot of power behind her second shot, but the most striking sight as she leads the four-time champion 6-1 is that Świątek's feet look stuck in the mud. Her elegant, fluid movement is so foundational to her game that when it's absent, it's very obvious and kind of a disaster. Getty Images Rybakina 6-1 Świątek And she does wrap up the set in double-quick time, 34 minutes and done. Not quite a bagel, but still pretty damning for Świątek. Rybakina led at 40-15, double faulted, then Świątek smashed a return home for deuce. Skidding low shot inches over the net, Świątek nets, then a booming ace. Rybakina *5-1 Świątek Elena Rybakina continues this game like she has all of them in this match so far, dismantling Świątek with a brutal display of relentless and accurate ball-striking. The crowd sing 'Let's go Iga, let's go' but Rybakina goes 15-40 up, two set points. Pulls it wide, 30-40... and then long, deuce! Can Świątek salvage a game? Big ace for advantage, no! The umpire sees it was wide. Another advantage, back to deuce, rinse and repeat and the game is now more than seven minutes long. Świątek swishes her racket in frustration after going long again. But she holds for 5-1. Rybakina still a double break up and serving for the set.

Deion Sanders Uplifts Shedeur's Spirits as Son Recovers From His Unexpected Draft Slide
Deion Sanders has never backed down from defending his kids against anybody. Shedeur Sanders was the subject of many jokes after he went from being considered a future top-three pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to not even making it to the top 20 and falling all the way to the fifth round. Sanders was selected with one of the teams originally projected to select him in the first round, the Cleveland Browns, but they did it with the No. 144 overall pick. After that, debates sparked about why the rookie quarterback had to wait way more than expected to hear his name called. Advertisement He's now focused on what's ahead with the Browns, a team with five quarterbacks on the roster. Sanders will likely have to compete against Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, Deshaun Watson and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel to become the starter. Meanwhile, he's embracing the city and vowing to make the most out of this opportunity. Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders (Left) and quarterback Shedeur Sanders (Right)© Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images His father and former coach, Deion Sanders, has actively supported him before, during and after the draft process. Weeks after his shocking fifth-round slide, the two-time Super Bowl champion shared a strong message to lift Shedeur Sanders' spirits ahead of his first NFL season. Advertisement "Thank You JESUS! 'We can take whatever hand we're dealt. We always have & we always will," Deion Sanders captioned an Instagram post that featured a picture of Shedeur Sanders at practice with the Browns. View the original article to see embedded media. His NFL journey didn't have the best start, but Shedeur Sanders has been reminded that it doesn't matter how he starts, but what he does with the opportunity he's been given. The Browns aren't the best franchise for a quarterback, but Sanders could be the catalyst of a much-needed turnaround. The 2025 season is still months away. Meanwhile, Sanders will have many chances to prove his value in the league. Related: Everybody's Making the Same Joke About Shedeur Sanders, New Pope
