In the latest updates about The Witcher 4, it has been confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will not be the main character. Doug Cockle, the voice actor for Geralt, revealed that while Geralt will be included in the game, the focus will shift to a different protagonist. This direction aligns with CD Projekt Red's earlier statements that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was intended to conclude Geralt's story. With production for the sequel expected to start soon, fans can anticipate an exciting new narrative in the beloved franchise.

Will Geralt of Rivia be in The Witcher 4?

Yes, Geralt will be part of The Witcher 4, but he will not be the main focus of the game. The story will center on a new protagonist, though details about who that will be remain undisclosed.

The Witcher series is based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and has gained immense popularity since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015. The game is renowned for its deep narrative, rich character development, and expansive open world. As fans eagerly await the next installment, there is much speculation about how the game will evolve while continuing to honor the legacy of Geralt and the world of The Witcher.
