Witcher 4 Secrets Revealed: CD Projekt’s Shocking Demand to Silence Geralt Voice Actor

The Witcher 4: Geralt’s Future Uncertain, Actor Doug Cockle Gets Slapped by CD Projekt

The Witcher franchise has been a beloved part of gaming culture for over two decades, and its popularity shows no signs of waning. However, in a recent interview, actor Doug Cockle, who has voiced Geralt of Rivia in the franchise since its inception, shed some light on the character’s potential future in The Witcher 4.

Cockle’s comments have left fans with more questions than answers, as he revealed that CD Projekt, the studio behind the game, had slapped him for accidentally sharing a rumor about Geralt’s return. "I went online and I said something about this, and then I got slapped by CD Projekt, because—I don’t know how true it is," Cockle explained.

The Uncertainty Surrounding Geralt’s Return

The Witcher 4 was announced in 2019, and since then, there have been very few updates on the game’s development. Cockle’s comments have only added to the mystery surrounding Geralt’s role in the next installment.

In a surprising twist, Cockle believes that the next Witcher game could follow Ciri’s travels to various worlds in the multiverse, drawn from author Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and mentioned in The Witcher 3 quest "The Isle of Mists."

A Possible Alternate Universe?

Cockle’s idea of Ciri’s travels to new worlds raises questions about the direction the franchise might take in The Witcher 4. While it’s uncertain whether Geralt will return as the main protagonist, Cockle’s words have sparked a debate about the possibility of an alternate universe or a spin-off focused on Ciri.

The NDA Factor

When asked about a placeholder on GOG indicating a December 2025 release date, Cockle simply stated, "The truth is, I can’t answer the question because I’ve signed an NDA. So even if I did know, I would have to lie to you."

This response suggests that Cockle is still bound by a non-disclosure agreement, which prevents him from sharing any further information about the game.

The Future of The Witcher Franchise

The Witcher franchise has seen its fair share of controversies and delays, but one thing is certain – fans are eagerly awaiting any update on The Witcher 4. As the release date remains shrouded in mystery, one can only speculate about the game’s direction and Geralt’s potential return.

While we may not have definitive answers just yet, the intrigue surrounding The Witcher 4 only adds to the excitement and anticipation among fans.
