As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent traversing the harsh lands of The Continent and slaying fearsome beasts as Geralt of Rivia, I can’t help but feel a pang of anticipation for The Witcher 4. With the enigmatic voice of Doug Cockle echoing through the halls of my memory, I find myself yearning for his gravelly tones to once again breathe life into the White Wolf.

It’s unclear if Geralt of Rivia, portrayed by Doug Cockle, will reappear in the upcoming game “The Witcher 4”, as CD Projekt Red has requested that he keeps quiet on the subject. Before Henry Cavill and Liam Hemsworth brought Geralt to life in the Netflix adaptation of “The Witcher”, Doug Cockle gave voice to the iconic monster hunter, lending his distinctive gravelly tone to all three CD Projekt Red games. Many fans are eagerly hoping to hear him again in “The Witcher 4”.

There remains much speculation surrounding the details of The Witcher 4, particularly its storyline and main character. It’s possible that Geralt might retire his two swords in the next installment, with many believing that Ciri could become the playable protagonist, as suggested by the tentative title Witcher 4. Contrastingly, game director Sebastian Kalemb has hinted at a potential return of Geralt, albeit in a supporting role to facilitate a smooth transition into a new era for the successful RPG series.

It’s no secret that fans have been wondering if Doug Cockle, Geralt’s original voice actor, will reprise his role for The Witcher 4. In an interview from August, it appeared he might confirm this. However, in a recent interview with MCM Comic Con Birmingham (via GamesRadar), Cockle explained that he was misinformed and had only been speculating based on an unverified rumor. Essentially, like everyone else not affiliated with CD Projekt Red, Cockle doesn’t know for certain if Geralt will appear in The Witcher 4.

He suggested that the rumor could have originated from a CDPR employee of the past. However, Cockle emphasized that he himself has no information about The Witcher 4 and if Geralt is indeed planned to reappear, he hasn’t been informed yet.

It’s likely that we won’t see the release of The Witcher 4 for several years yet, meaning fans might have to wait before CDPR reveals any plot details. Previously, Doug Cockle expressed his desire to reprise his role as Geralt of Rivia if offered, and many players are eagerly anticipating hearing his rough voice in The Witcher 4, even if it’s only for a small part that sets the stage for a new main character.
