Geralt Voice Actor Retracts Witcher 4 Comments Following CD Projekt Red Reprimand

Doug Cockle clarifies previous statements about Geralt's role in the upcoming game, citing rumors and strict NDAs.

Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt of Rivia, has walked back earlier comments suggesting Geralt would appear in The Witcher 4, after being reprimanded by developer CD Projekt Red.
Cockle admitted his statements were based on rumors and that he is uncertain about Geralt's role or presence in the next installment, codenamed Project Polaris.
CD Projekt Red has not confirmed any details about The Witcher 4’s protagonist or storyline, emphasizing a new trilogy with fresh gameplay elements and mechanics.
The game is currently in full production with over 400 developers and is being created on Unreal Engine 5 rather than the proprietary REDengine.
CD Projekt Red has adopted a more cautious approach to information sharing after the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077, aiming to manage expectations more effectively.
