The Witcher 4 is set to introduce a new protagonist, Ciri, who will take on Geralt’s legacy. Ciara Berkeley joins as the new voice of Ciri, replacing Jo Wyatt. Geralt’s original voice actor, Doug Cockle, has shown much enthusiasm about this new direction, stating:

“I think she’s going to do a great job. She’s got a fantastic presence in person.”

Despite having just met Berkeley, Cockle is confident about her ability to fill the role. He emphasizes that he is supportive of the casting decision amid some backlash from fans. Cockle urges critics to embrace the narrative changes, referencing the source material from the books.

Overall, the new direction for The Witcher is highly anticipated, with CD Projekt’s ongoing development promising an exciting sequel.
