Geralt's Role in Witcher 4 Sparks Controversy
The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as CD Projekt Red gears up for a new chapter in The Witcher saga. While Geralt of Rivia, the beloved protagonist from previous games, will make an appearance, he won't be the main character this time. Speculations are rife about who will take center stage, and many fans are hoping for Ciri to lead the adventure. With the game being developed using Unreal Engine 5, it promises to be a groundbreaking experience for players.
The Witcher 4: What We Know So Far
CD Projekt Red announced a new Witcher game, codenamed Polaris, in March 2022. Although not officially titled The Witcher 4, it's considered the next installment in the series. The game entered pre-production in May 2022 and is expected to be released no earlier than 2025.
Geralt's Role in the New Saga
Doug Cockle, the voice actor for Geralt, recently shared that while Geralt will appear in the game, he won't be the main character. This revelation has sparked numerous fan theories about the plot and potential new protagonists.
Speculations About Ciri
Many believe that Ciri could be the protagonist of the new game. Her ability to travel between worlds makes her a compelling choice for the lead role. This theory is supported by the "true" ending of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, where Ciri becomes a Witcher.
