Geralt's Voice actor says he wont be the main character in Witcher 4, but that Geralt will be somehwta present, he still hasn't seen any script or anything.

[Tokio Blues]

NOOOOOOOOO

 

[Vyse]

Oh boy. Here we go…

 

[Xtib81]

We're 100% playing a woman in their next game.

 

[Exede]

I'm ok when its Ciri

 

[Complistic]

I didn't think he would be?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Create a character. Geralt is the new Vesimer.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

 

[Gaiff]

I'm ok when its Ciri

Probably Ciri, but she has cool powers. Not exactly a traditional Witcher though.

 

[ReyBrujo]

We're 100% playing a woman in their next game.

Or just a Type A character.

 

[Moriarty1889]

We're 100% playing a woman in their next game.

A strong and brave woman of color mind you. More than likely with the current trend going on in gaming as of late. If so, it’s more than likely SBI was involved.

 

[timothet]

I don't know why some people act surprised here. It was known pretty much from the initial announcement that Geralt won't be the protagonist in new Witcher games.

 

[Yerd]

We're 100% playing a woman in their next game.

They better let me live out my gang bang fantasy then. If I'm not able to be a whore like Geralt, then I don't know what I might do. Probably still play it. But I'm gonna play with a frown the whole time.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind playing as one of the witches. My guess is we play as Yennefer or Ciri.

 

[thismeinteil]

We're 100% playing a woman in their next game.

Oh, HELL YEAH!! Can't wait to play as totally original strong female character who don't need no man and is better than Geralt in every way possible. YAY!!

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

94.2 percent chance that this is the next protagonist of The Witcher series...

 

[Hrk69]

 

[Brigandier]

Lead character gonna be like this circus clown:

 

[Trogdor1123]

I'm ok when its Ciri

It’s gotta be her, it makes sense for it be as well.

 

[Draugoth]

94.2 percent chance that this is the next protagonist of The Witcher series...

 

[Dazraell]

My guess is we play as Yennefer or Ciri.

When they announced new Witcher games they posted the image of a new medallion from a witcher school that wasn't yet featured in books or games. This implied it might be a new original character, not someone who was previously established

 

[winjer]

FFS, I bet they are going to make a protagonist for "modern audiences".

 

[Vlodril]

I think they are going to offer a choice like in Cyberpunk 2077. Would make sense for a new school and probably setting.

 

[Bernardougf]

Oh good another woman lead probably... how modern and fresh

 

[T4keD0wN]

It was pretty clear given how Witcher 3 concluded.

 

[StueyDuck]

Ah yes... modern audiences and what not...

 

[Edmund]

Hope i get to run around naked as Ciri or Yennefer

 

[Fake]

He will die and we gonna take a jorney to avenge him.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Create a character. Geralt is the new Vesimer.

This. Geralt will basically be Keanu Reeves character in Cyberpunk. Showing up all the time, commenting on your choices.

Hopefully not as a ghost, though..

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I called it, CD Projekt is pretty much dead. Gerald will be shitted on in the worst way possible.

With you, the only and true Witcher

 

[The Shepard]

100% going to be create a player. Male and female.

 

[Nankatsu]

Most likely a created character like they did in Cyberpunk 2077. Fine by me.

 

[tusharngf]

count me in

Good luck to anyone thinking it won't be a cluster fuck. These guys are fully on board with the Borg


..Bu bu bu but!!

Shut it. They've sold out.

 

[wipeout364]

I think the create a character is probably the best guess. Cyberpunk used this approach more or less and I thought it worked great in that game.

 

[DevilHunterX0]

Coming soon: The B*tcher 4

 

[Nickolaidas]

Also, I expect some fat bitch to bash his skull in with a smith hammer or something, Ciri lecturing him on his white male privilege, Ciri being a full-on lesbian (although I think this was implied in the previous game as well).

Whatever. Game's gonna suck anyways and/or will be released after six years from now or something.

At this point the only traditional-like fantasy RPG I'm interested in is Project Awakening.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Reminder that CDPR hired a bunch of devs from Insomniac. Their investors probably didn’t like the resetera crowd (who doesn’t buy games btw) shitting on Cyberpunk for perceived slights to LGBT people.

 

[balls of snow]

Yep he has a Vineyard to retire to.
Inb4 Sbi has infected cdpr.

 

[Esppiral]

Metal Gear 2 all over again.

 

[balls of snow]

It was pretty clear given how Witcher 3 concluded.

Also pretty clear many never finished the real ending of Witcher 3.

 

[Fake]

Also pretty clear many never finished the real ending of Witcher 3.

I did all the ending of Witcher 3, but I'm curious to ask you about this true ending.

 

[Timberwolf25]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Witcher 4 going to be a horror game?

 

[StereoVsn]

I think it was assumed that it would be a different character. I just hope they would allow a custom character creator vs having a “modern audience” character.

 

[Moriarty1889]

count me in

Would be great if she is the choice but I think her skin tone will be different among other things. An attractive powerful white female as a lead character has become a Unicorn in todays gaming world.

 

[BigBeauford]

Pretty sure "swapping protagonist white dude for girlboss POC" will be the new socialism.

It's tried and failed dozens of times, but THIS TIME it's going to work.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'm ok when its Ciri

Not a real Witcher as she did not pass all the trials or underwent mutations. Would not make sense for a Witcher 4.

I expect character creation. But if CDPR has been affected by the Mind Virus then I expect either the character creation to be centered around ugly characters or bad writing.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

CD Projekt:

- Hires lead writer from Insomniac

- Opens studio in the USA

- Wants to remake The Witcher for "new audiences"

- Geralt won't feature in TW4 other than for being ridiculed.


CD Projekt fans:

- Amazing, We will play with a sexy Ciri !!


Man, the hopium is painful to watch.

 

[intbal]

50/50 chance it will be based on this:

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

The last thing that this universe needs is some sort of 'canonical' ending tbh. TW3 finale was pefect for virtually any player and even novel reader.

50/50 chance it will be based on this:

It's an American drivel, Sapkowski never wrote any of this in his lore.

 

[balls of snow]

I did all the ending of Witcher 3, but I'm curious to ask you about this true ending.

Blood and Wine.
Not only did they put the look at camera at the end of the questline saying Geralt is pretty much done.



The little epilogue after that makes it clear its after the main story though you can start the expansion after a certain point (and spoil the main story). The final vineyard scene with Ciri is meant to take place after she becomes a Witcher with Geralt which arguably is the happy ending. Minute 3:09 btw.




cdpr wrote Geralt the happy ending he deserved so why would they go all punished Geralt in another Witcher game.
