Geralt’s Voice Actor Got “Slapped” by CD Projekt RED for Saying Geralt Appears in The Witcher 4
Doug Cockle, the English voice of Geralt in The Witcher series, has apparently gotten into trouble after comments he made about the upcoming game in August.
Cockle stated that the famous character would be part of the next game, but he clarified that Geralt wouldn’t be the main character this time.
CD Projekt RED Responds to Doug Cockle for Saying Geralt Will Be in The Witcher 4
However, CD Projekt RED is far from pleased with the actor’s statement, as the company has not officially confirmed anything about Geralt’s role in The Witcher 4.
Earlier, Cockle had hinted that Geralt might appear in some way in the next game. However, during his appearance at MCM Comic Con in Birmingham, he backtracked and said he has no idea what will happen to Geralt in the new game.
I did go online and say something about it, and then I got slapped by CD Projekt because I didn’t know how true it was. I went off a rumor; I thought I’d seen someone from CD Projekt say that Geralt would be in The Witcher 4, but he wouldn’t be the main character. Now, I’m not sure if that’s true because they came back and told me, ‘We haven’t put anything out there, don’t say anything.’ So the truth is, the answer to your question is, I don’t know what it’s going to be. I had an idea of what it was, but then I was basically told, ‘We haven’t told anybody what it is, so where you got that information, we don’t know.’
While this doesn’t confirm or deny Geralt’s role in the game, it shows that the voice actor shouldn’t have shared unverified information with such confidence. Because of his connection to the game’s creators, his words were taken as credible, making the situation more complicated.
In other Witcher 4 news, CD Projekt RED has confirmed that Witcher 4 has entered full-scale production.
