CDProjekt seems keen on expanding The Witcher series protagonist Geralt's abilities in combat in the upcoming game. The game's producer, Marek Ziemak, revealed some of the abilities that Geralt now has in an interview with OnlySP. According to Ziemak, Geralt will have new offensive and defensive abilities, as well as items and potions.

"You have new ways to dodge enemies and parry their blows," he said. "But also, for each magical sign, you can use two versions of it. One is extended. For example, the Igni sign has a constant flamethrower thing whereas there's also single, more destructive blow of fire. This is one of the new elements. We're also introducing new alchemical potions, and other minor elements that will change the experience." The render of Geralt will see improvements
