Everyone’s favorite witcher, Geralt of Rivia, will appear in The Witcher 4… it just sounds like he won’t be the protagonist.

When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was first announced…almost 10 years ago (gosh, I’m old), it was clear at the end of the game that it would be a grand finale. In fact, CD Projekt Red said as much in an interview with Polygon years before the game’s release, explicitly stating that this would be the end of Geralt’s story: “In the third installment, we should wrap it up and wrap up a lot of the plot,” CEO Marcin Iwinski said. “We might even include Geralt in subsequent games,” executive producer John Mamais further explained.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that Geralt’s voice actor, Doug Cockle, said in a recent video for Fall Damage that The Witcher 4, or whatever it’s ultimately called, won’t be about the beloved character. “The Witcher 4 has already been announced. I can’t reveal anything,” Cockle said. “What we know is that Geralt will be a part of the game, we just don’t know how much, and the game won’t be centered around Geralt. So it’s not about him this time. We don’t know who it’s about. I’m excited to find out. I want to know! I haven’t read any of the scripts, I mean, if I had, I couldn’t tell you. That’s the thing, so I could be lying. But I’m not. Or am I?”

This won’t be surprising to anyone who’s been following all the progress on The Witcher 4, especially the Polygon interview above, but it still gives us a clearer idea of ​​what we can expect from the upcoming sequel. Production is expected to begin sometime this year, so don’t expect to be able to play it anytime soon, at least.
