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 might be again for the following recreation within the sequence.
“Witcher 4 has been introduced,” he mentioned. “I am unable to say something about it. What we all know is that Geralt might be a part of the sport, we simply do not know the way a lot, and the sport will not give attention to 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 wish 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 may very well be mendacity by my tooth. 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 specific that this could be the top of Geralt’s saga. They did, nevertheless, go away the door ajar for his return. “We’d even embody 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 following Witcher recreation might be, that we do not know. Ciri can be an apparent alternative—although it will contain making one of many endings of The Witcher 3 canon, the official comedian books have not been shy about doing that. They usually’d in all probability should depower her a bit, although that is nothing new in videogames, the place even Batman has to stage as much as regain all his iconic talents in every new Arkham recreation.
The opposite chance is a customized character, maybe constructed a bit like V was in Cyberpunk 2077. Ditching the concept of taking part in a preset character with an current backstory can be a major departure for The Witcher sequence although, and one that will take away one thing that makes them distinct from different RPGs.
Provided that one of many solely clues we now have concerning the subsequent Witcher recreation is a lynx-shaped medallion, maybe from the Faculty of the Cat, it is fully attainable we’ll be taking part in a completely new witcher from this secretive faculty. 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 will be some time earlier than we all know both method.
