Geralt Will Appear in The Witcher 4, but Not as the Main Character

Last month, Pawel Sasko, the director of Cyberpunk 2077‘s sequel, said that The Witcher 4 is CD Projekt Red’s next big focus. Most of the studio’s projects are still in their early stages, and according to Sasko, they “won’t have anything to show for a while.” However, we now know one concrete fact about the upcoming game – Geralt will make an appearance.

In a new interview, Doug Cockle, Geralt’s voice actor, confirmed this to be the case.

“The Witcher 4 has been announced. I can’t say anything about it,” Cockle said. “We know that Geralt will be part of the game, we just don’t know how much. The game won’t focus on Geralt, so it’s not about him this time. We don’t know who it’s about, I’m excited to find out!”

The Witcher 4 is said to be “the most advanced” of CD Projekt Red’s upcoming tiles. This isn’t surprising, as in May, the studio claimed that over 400 developers were working on the game. The title will introduce a new trilogy within The Witcher universe.

Released in 2015, The Witcher 3 has sold over 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling video games ever. It holds over 200 game of the year awards, also taking home trophies for Excellence in Technical Achievement, Excellence in Visual Achievement, and Excellence in Narrative at the 2016 SXSW Gaming Awards.

In May, CD Projekt Red released The Witcher 3 REDkit, an official mod editor for the popular RPG.

The Witcher 4 is in active development, but it does not yet have a release window.
