Doug Cockle Is Keen To Reprise His Role As Geralt For The Witcher 4, Remake & Beyond

Voice actor Doug Cockle, who voices Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher video game series, has revealed that he is more than happy to reprise his role as the muscle-bound hero for The Witcher 4, the planned remake of the original game, and anything else thrown his way.

Chatting with IGN, Cockle said that he’d be glad to continue voicing Geralt for the foreseeable future, although he made a point of noting he isn’t sure what’s going on with future The Witcher projects. With that in mind, there’s no guarantee that Cockle will be coming back for more games.

I would love to just keep voicing Geralt until I can no longer voice anymore. It’s just become such a part of me. I’m thrilled every time CD Projekt calls me up and says, ‘Hey, Doug, are you available for such and such?’ And my heart does a little flutter and leaps, and I go, ‘Yes, of course I am,’ because I love it so much.

I don’t have as close a relationship with many other developers, and a lot of the other developers who I know fairly well are indie developers so they’re much smaller in scale in terms of what they’re doing and everything else.

I have a lot of respect for CD Projekt Red. I don’t work for them, I work with them. So I sit a little bit on the outside of the company itself. I’m like a satellite that kind of spins around the inner workings of the company, which I know nothing about, and every once in a while, they call me in and I come in and do a little thing, and then I go back into my orbit. But they’re absolutely lovely.

Last month, CD Projekt RED revealed that nearly half of its development force are now working on The Witcher 4 (not its official title), and speaking in an interview in early December, the game’s director revealed that the team clearly has major ambitions for the new project.

Not much on The Witcher Remake has been revealed yet, but we do know that the game will be powered by Unreal Engine 5 and will launch after The Witcher 4.
