Geralt of Rivia Returns in "The Witcher 4": What We Know So Far

Have you ever wondered what happened to Geralt after "The Witcher 3"? Well, get ready for some exciting news! The famous monster-slayer is coming back in "The Witcher 4," but things are going to be a bit different this time around.

From Books to Games to TV: The Witcher's Journey

The Witcher started as a series of books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. These stories were so good that a video game company called CD Projekt RED turned them into awesome games. Then, Netflix jumped in and made a TV show about it too!

While the TV show kept growing with spin-offs, fans of the games have been waiting for something new. Well, the wait is almost over!

What's New with The Witcher 4?

CD Projekt RED, the company behind the Witcher games, has been busy cooking up some surprises:

They're working on "The Witcher 4" (though that might not be its final name).

They're even remaking the first Witcher game for newer computers and consoles.

"The Witcher 4" will come out before "Cyberpunk 2" (another game they're making).

But here's the big question: Will Geralt, the hero we all know and love, be in the new game?

Geralt's Return: The Inside Scoop

Good news, Witcher fans! Doug Cockle, the voice behind Geralt, spilled some beans in a recent interview. He said:

"What we know is that Geralt will be part of the game. We just don't know how much. But the game won't focus on Geralt."

This means Geralt will definitely be in the game, but he won't be the main character like before. It's like when your favorite superhero shows up in another hero's movie – they're there, but it's not all about them.

What Else Do We Know About The Witcher 4?

Here are some cool facts about the upcoming game:

It's currently called "Project Polaris" (that's its code name).

The game will use something called Unreal Engine 5, which means it'll look super cool.

This game will start a whole new trilogy of Witcher games.

The story might focus on the School of the Cat, which is another group of Witchers.

When Can We Play It?

Hold your horses, gamers! CD Projekt RED just started working hard on the game in 2024. They haven't even recorded the voices yet, which means Doug Cockle (Geralt's voice) hasn't seen the whole story.

Making big games takes time, so we'll have to be patient. But don't worry – we'll keep you updated on any news about "The Witcher 4"!
