So Ciri’s eyes and tolerance for Witcher potions show that she has gone through the Trial.

Given the OPness of her at the end of 3, I think we can presume something or someone has subdued her Elder Blood power and she took up Witcher power to fix things. (We can say subdued, because I think we see a small flash of Elder magic near the end of the trailer)

Hopefully CDProjekt don’t announce the wrong release date this time

Yeah, this time if they announce "coming: when it's ready", they should wait until the game is ready.

There's a ~~kryptonite fog~~ binding ritual covering ~~Metropolis~~ the Northern Kingdoms. Race through rings to unlock additional powers.

"What happened to Ciri?" The video game "trope" of: Boss kicks your ass 16 ways from Sunday, joins your team and becomes a wet rag that premature babies could flick away with no effort.

I get it, can't really have a growth experience if you start off as OP I guess lol

Right, you'll have to collect the wave beam and screw attack all over again.

I hope you’ll be able to unlock her OP mode for second playthroughs, wouldn’t be compelling for the first run but I loved playing as unstoppable Ciri

I played Assassin's Creed: Odyssey starting with a NG+ save I downloaded. Had a blast. Plenty of games are fun without shoehorning in a leveling system. In tabletop systems there's a different context too, usually when you pick a feat or spell it's in response to a difficulty you faced, whereas in games it's just grabbing perks.
