Nicely, in the event you’re one of many 5 idiots on Earth nonetheless sad about Ciri being tapped to be The Witcher 4‘s protagonist, your job simply acquired a bit more durable. Doug Cockle, Geralt’s iconic voice actor has now given his two cents on the change, and he thinks it is “a extremely, actually fascinating transfer”.
You may be stunned that it is taken this lengthy for the voice of the world’s foremost gravelly-voiced monster hunter to have his say on the factor all of us discovered at final 12 months’s Recreation Awards, however to be truthful, I do not blame him for staying mum. CD Projekt did apparently inform him off for saying issues about The Witcher 4 not too way back, y’know.
Chatting with IGN as a part of a chat about The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, a Netflix factor he is starring in as animated Gerry from the Riviera, Cockle provided his views on Ciri having gotten the nod as TW4 fundamental character. In brief, he is “actually excited”.
“I feel it is a actually good transfer,” the actor mentioned, “I imply, I at all times thought that persevering with the saga, however shifting to Ciri can be a extremely, actually fascinating transfer for every kind of causes, however largely due to issues that occur within the books, which I do not need to give away as a result of individuals – I need individuals to go learn. So yeah, I feel it is actually thrilling. I am unable to wait. I am unable to wait to see what they’ve accomplished.”
Oh no. Not studying. We play video video games, which completely by no means have textual content in them, Doug. We do not learn. Oh, you imply the Witcher books, that are the idea of some video video games? Alright, we are able to make an exception.
Dropping the sark, to be trustworthy, it has been some time since I learn the Witcher books myself, so I am gonna should flip ’em again open to attempt to work out what sorts of issues Cockle’s alluding to right here. Rattling. He is gotten me.
Talking of Geralt and issues we’re not fairly certain of, we presently solely know that the White Wolf shall be displaying up in The Witcher 4. Recreation director Sebastian Kalemba did not present any particulars as to what precisely he’ll be as much as when chatting to individuals after that TGAs reveal, however he did insist that Geralt is necessary to each the devs and Ciri.
