The
Witcher
4
made
its
surprise
debut
at
The
Game
Awards
with
a
gorgeous
trailer
starring
Ciri,
now
a
full-fledged
Witcher,
chopping
down
a
monster
that
had
been
terrorising
a
village.
But
with
Ciri
confirmed
as
the
leading
lady,
there’s
one
important
question
left:
will
Geralt
appear?

Yes.
Yes,
he
will.
That’s
according
to
CD
Projekt
who
confirmed
it
to
IGN,
stating
that
 “Geralt
will
appear
in
the
game,
but
we
don’t
want
to
spoil
his
role
precisely.
You’ll
have
to
wait
to
learn
more
for
now.”

Of
course,
the
trailer
did
hint
that
Geralt
would
return
as
it
ended
with
the
gravelly
voice
of
Geralt
saying
“Time
for
a
new
saga.
See
you
on
the
path.”

The
last
we
saw
of
Geralt
in
the
games
was
in
The
Witcher
3:
Blood
&
Wine.
The
white-haired
man
was
in
semi-retirement
at
his
vineyard
in
Toussaint.
And
we
also
know
from
the
books
that
Geralt
is
alive
and
well
some
hundred
years
after
the
events
of
The
Witcher
3.

Meanwhile
Geralt’s
voice
actor
Doug
Cockle
got
himself
in
some
minor
trouble
with
CD
Projekt
earlier
this
month
when
revealed
that
he
would
appear
in
the
new
game
but
not
as
the
main
character.

“Witcher
4
has
been
announced.
I
can’t
say
anything
about
it.
What
we
know
is
that
Geralt
will
be
part
of
the
game,
we
just
don’t
know
how
much,
and
the
game
won’t
focus
on
Geralt,”
said
Cockle
as
downed
several
potions
and
prepared
to
fight
a
monster.
“So
it’s
not
about
him
this
time.
We
don’t
know
who
it’s
about.
I’m
excited
to
find
out.
I
want
to
know!
I
have
not
seen
any
script
yet
—
I
mean,
I
couldn’t
tell
you
if
I
did.
This
is
the
thing,
so
I
could
be
lying
through
my
teeth.
But
I’m
not.
Or
am
I?”

As
for
Ciri,
there’s
a
lot
the
trailer
sets
up
that
the
main
game
will
need
to
answer.
For
example,
Ciri
is
seen
downing
the
special
Witcher
potions
which
would
presumably
mean
Ciri
has
undergone
the
Trial
of
Grasses,
despite
not
being
able
to
previously.
She
is
generally
considered
a
Witcher
even
though
she
didn’t
go
through
the
usual
process,
and
the
book’s
author
Sapkowski
also
refers
to
her
as
a
Witcher.
Still,
there’s
a
lot
of
questions
waiting
to
be
answered.
