As a long-time Witcher fan, who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich world of The Continent, I must admit that the announcement of Ciri as the lead character for The Witcher 4 filled me with a mix of excitement and apprehension. While I grew fond of her character in Wild Hunt, I was attached to Geralt’s voice by Jo Wyatt. However, upon hearing that Ciara Berkley will be taking on the role, I am now eager to see what she brings to the table as Ciri.
In the announcement for “The Witcher 4”, it was disclosed that Ciri will serve as the main character of the series going forward. Despite having been introduced in the previous installment, “Wild Hunt”, fans picked up on a distinctive change in her character from the teaser trailer.
It seems I’ve got some exciting news to share! The actress who originally brought Ciri to life in the series, Jo Wyatt, won’t be reprising her role in the sequel. A new talent has stepped into the shoes of our beloved character.
Ciri’s Voice Actress Change
According to The Gamer, Ciara Berkley has been cast as Ciri in The Witcher 4. Berkley is a fresh face in the industry, with her most recent project being the film Swing Bout. CD Projekt Red’s representative commented on this change in casting.
Ciara Berkeley has been selected to portray Ciri in the reveal trailer for ‘The Witcher 4’. Ciara’s talent, evident through her infectious enthusiasm and exceptional voice acting abilities, truly breathed life into the character in a manner that remains true to the original while igniting excitement among series enthusiasts.
It hasn’t been explicitly stated why Wyatt was swapped for the sequel, but it’s possible that they intend to cast Berkley as the main character in this installment since Ciri is anticipated to spearhead a fresh trilogy of Witcher games moving forward.
What Can Fans Expect from The Witcher 4
In The Witcher 4, we’ll be exploring uncharted territories as Ciri takes center stage, instead of Geralt of Rivia. While it will retain the magical and fantastical elements that fans have come to love in The Witcher series, they can also anticipate a greater emphasis on morally intricate narratives, much like the one hinted at in the cinematic teaser.
Regarding the gameplay, no formal details have been disclosed yet, but the trailer hints at some potential abilities for Ciri that may differ from Geralt’s skill set. For instance, it appears she wields unique weapons and possesses an intriguing ability where her eyes turn silver, likely granting her night vision or similar dark-seeing capabilities.
Apart from a new weapon, Ciri now wields a chain connected to a gauntlet, reminiscent of Kratos’ Blades of Chaos. This device not only enables her to ensnare adversaries but also seems capable of funneling magical energy through it, causing whatever is caught on the chain to experience its potent effects.
The ‘Woker’ 4
It’s true that some parts of the online community are prone to criticize this game due to its female lead character. However, dedicated Witcher fans understand that the last game foreshadowed Geralt’s retirement and passing on his role to Ciri instead.
It’s likely that CDPR will share more details at a later time. For now, though, The Game Awards will continue to build anticipation among fans for several more months.
There’s currently no announced launch date for “The Witcher 4”, but we eagerly anticipate its arrival on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 within the coming years.
