Watch On
File this beneath “issues we already knew however that are good to have confirmed.” In a current video for Fall Harm, Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt in all of CD Projekt Crimson’s video games, defined our favourite gruff monster-slaying dad man will likely be again for the subsequent sport within the sequence.
“Witcher 4 has been introduced,” he stated. “I am unable to say something about it. What we all know is that Geralt will likely be a part of the sport, we simply do not understand how a lot, and the sport will not give attention to Geralt. So it isn’t about him this time. We do not know who it is about. I am excited to seek out out. I need to know! I’ve not seen any script but—I imply, I could not inform you if I did. That is the factor, so I may very well be mendacity by means of my enamel. However I am not. Or am I?”
Again in 2013 when CD Projekt Crimson was speaking up The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, they made it express that this is able to be the top of Geralt’s saga. They did, nevertheless, depart the door ajar for his return. “We would even embrace Geralt in later video games probably,” government producer John Mamais informed Polygon. “We simply want to speak about it and work out what we’ll do subsequent.”
As for who the protagonist of the subsequent Witcher sport will likely be, that we do not know. Ciri can be an apparent selection—although it could contain making one of many endings of The Witcher 3 canon, the official comedian books have not been shy about doing that. And so they’d most likely should depower her a bit, although that is nothing new in videogames, the place even Batman has to degree as much as regain all his iconic talents in every new Arkham sport.
The opposite chance is a customized character, maybe constructed a bit like V was in Cyberpunk 2077. Ditching the thought of taking part in a preset character with an current backstory can be a big departure for The Witcher sequence although, and one that might take away one thing that makes them distinct from different RPGs.
On condition that one of many solely clues we now have concerning the subsequent Witcher sport is a lynx-shaped medallion, maybe from the College of the Cat, it is totally doable we’ll be taking part in a wholly new witcher from this secretive college. Since The Witcher 4 solely entered pre-production in mid-2022, and if Cockle is to be believed he nonetheless hasn’t seen a script, it’s going to be some time earlier than we all know both method.
