CD Projekt Red confirms Ciri will be the protagonist of The Witcher 4, a decision driven by both narrative progression and the potential inherent in the character. Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega explains that Geralt's story arc concluded in The Witcher 3, leaving the stage open for Ciri, whose established depth and complexity in both the books and previous games offer fertile ground for new storylines.
Director Sebastian Kalemba highlights Ciri's younger age as a key factor, providing greater flexibility in character development compared to the more established Geralt. The shift, in fact, was considered nearly a decade ago, underscoring CD Projekt Red's long-term vision for Ciri as Geralt's successor. Kalemba promises a new saga with equally epic challenges and perspectives for Ciri to navigate.
The decision has the backing of Geralt's voice actor, Doug Cockle, who recognizes Ciri's considerable potential as a lead character. While Geralt will feature in The Witcher 4, his role will be secondary, allowing for a fresh narrative focus on Ciri's journey.
