Following the success The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red is developing the next installment in the Witcher Saga.

Though it is unclear who and what the game will be about, we do know a few things.Geralt of Rivia will definitely return in The Witcher 4, but not in the way you might think...

Geralt Won't Be The Main Character

Geralt's voice actor, Doug Cockle, starred in a YouTube format in which he was tasked to try to remember his most iconic lines as the white wolf.

During the video, he talked about the upcoming Witcher anime on Netflix and the next Witcher game.

He confirmed that Geralt will make his return in the next installment of the franchise, but he won't be the main character.

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, so it's not about him this time.

Of course, we are excited to see Geralt come back in any shape or form, no matter his role and screen time. We just want to see our favorite Witcher once again! But this is certainly a surprising revelation.
