Ah, it’s been up and down with The Witcher. The impressive remake of The Witcher 1 has just been announced after CD Projekt has let several wolves out of the bag anyway: five new Witcher games are to be released in the next few years. The community thinks it’s on a high like Vilgefortz after a successful plot. But now comes a rather bitter pill: Henry Cavill gets out.
After Season 3, the Hollywood star will no longer embody the grumpy witch Geralt. He shared this with his fans via Instagram. There is no concrete justification for the decision so far:
We’ll translate it for you with the power of our English skills from high school:
My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been full of adventures, full of monsters, but now it’s time to put down the locket and swords for Season 4. In my place, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will take on the role of White Wolf. As with all great characters in literature, I pass the torch with awe at my time as Geralt and with enthusiasm for what Liam brings to this fascinating and nuanced character.
A replacement has already been found: Liam Hemsworth, the little brother of Thor and Chris Hemsworth, will roam the Northern Kingdoms as Geralt in the future. But before that happens, fans are looking forward to Season 3 with Henry Cavill. It is expected to be on your televisions, tablets, cell phones and screens via Netflix in the summer of 2023.
