Today, CD Projekt RED is celebrating the fifth year anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?s release. As such, loads of previously unknown or lesser known details are bound to circulate online. One interesting tidbit concerns a planned sequence involving Ciri that ultimately wound up on the cutting room floor. Apparently, said sequence would?ve featured the Lady of Space and Time simultaneously sword fighting and ice skating, a scene inspired by a moment from the book series? Tower of Swallow entry.
For The Witcher 3?s fifth anniversary, VG247 conducted an interview with Principal Writer Jakub Szama?ek. During the chat, Szama?ek was asked about ideas that were cast aside during development. The writer made note of the aforementioned ice skating sequence, which he said proved far too complex. Szama?ek told the publication,
