Everybody’s favorite witcher Geralt of Rivia can be in The Witcher 4… it is simply sounding like he will not be the primary character.
When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first got here out… nearly 10 years in the past (holy moly I am getting outdated), it was clear by the top of the sport that it was meant to be an enormous finale. Actually, CD Projekt Crimson stated as a lot in an interview with Polygon a few years earlier than the sport was launched, making it clear that this might be the top to Geralt’s story: “With the third installment, we must always wrap it up and conclude a number of threads,” CEO Marcin Iwinski stated. “We’d even embody Geralt in later video games probably,” additional defined govt producer John Mamais.
So it should not come as a lot of a shock to you that Geralt’s voice actor himself, Doug Cockle, has stated in a latest video for Fall Injury (thanks, PC Gamer) that The Witcher 4, or no matter it finally ends up being known as, will not be concerning the beloved character. “Witcher 4 has been introduced. I can not say something about it,” Cockle stated. “What we all know is that Geralt can be a part of the sport, we simply do not know the way a lot, and the sport will not deal with Geralt. So it is not about him this time. We do not know who it is about. I am excited to search out out. I need to know! I’ve not seen any script but, I imply, I could not let you know if I did. That is the factor, so I might be mendacity by way of my enamel. However I am not. Or am I?”
For people who maintain monitor of all of The Witcher 4’s coming and goings this may not be shocking, particularly with the Polygon interview above, but it surely nonetheless offers a clearer image as to what we are able to anticipate from the upcoming sequel. Manufacturing is predicted to begin someday this 12 months, so do not anticipate to be taking part in it anytime quickly on the very least.
