The Witcher 4 Developers Address Geralt’s Speculated Return

The anticipation surrounding Geralt’s potential return in The Witcher 4 has sparked much debate among fans, but CD Projekt Red has finally clarified the situation. There has been a long-standing speculation among players that Ciri would take the lead role in the franchise’s next chapter.

The matter was further complicated when Doug Cockle, the voice actor for Geralt, initially indicated that he had insights on the upcoming game. However, he later retracted this statement after the developers expressed their discontent over how he obtained that information. In a discussion with Geektown earlier in December, he acknowledged, “Witcher 4 is a complete mystery to me.” Fortunately, that veil of uncertainty has begun to lift.
