I'm not really feeling the new Ciri either, but CDPR didn't follow the book lore all that well. They confirmed in a tweet that indeed she went through the trial, and speculation tells that she may gave done so with the help of a witcher from another school, broken off from the school of the cat ( see the new medalion ). From the agresiveness she shows in the trailer I'm guessing they're going for a more Falka-like Ciri, which is intriguing.

But I admit I'm a bit disappointed with their decision to insist on the well established characters for the "new trilogy" as they call it. It feels very boring and safe, and frankly I though that their arcs were complete and it was time for something new. We'll see I suppose
