Dec 10, 2024 8:50 AM

In a recent update about The Witcher 4, voice actor Doug Cockle clarified his previous comments on Geralt's role in the game, revealing that he had faced backlash from CD Projekt. While he initially stated that Geralt would be part of the game but not the main character, he later walked back those remarks, emphasizing that the upcoming title remains a mystery to him. The game, known as Project Polaris, has recently entered full-scale production, with CD Projekt confirming that 400 developers are currently working on this exciting project. As fans speculate about the potential protagonist, many believe Ciri, Geralt’s mentee, could take center stage. The Witcher 4 promises to redefine its narrative as CD Projekt aims to create a new trilogy.

What do we know about Geralt's involvement in The Witcher 4?

Geralt will appear in The Witcher 4 but will not be the main character, according to comments from Doug Cockle. However, the specifics about the central character are still under wraps, and the game's direction remains largely a mystery.

Set in a richly detailed fantasy world based on Slavic mythology, The Witcher series has captivated audiences since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, which won multiple Game of the Year awards. The Witcher games focus on the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter navigating complex moral choices and deep storylines. As excitement builds for the next installment, fans are eager to see how the storyline evolves and which characters will take the spotlight in Project Polaris.
