The Witcher 4 Recasts Ciri

CD Projekt Red confirms that Ciri has a new actor in The Witcher 4 trailer, with Ciara Berkeley taking up the role.

Recasted Ciri voice actor which makes sense as she's older now, they've changed the Polish VA too.

It's no sounding good:

Cool.

If W4 gameplay looks that good on a PS5, PC will be mindblowing. Can't wait.

Looks insane. Running on a base PS5 as well.

The density of the town, the interactions with anything.... This looks epic.

60fps. There are a few frame drops, but the game isn't finished yet and of course it's PS5. Great they didn't use a trailer and you could see the CDPR dev using a controller.
The horse looks insane.

As an aside later on in the presentation what they did with metahuman animation was mindblowing - it will change games for ever. Also pretty dangerous for the disinformation it could spread

How’s it compare to Witcher 3 story wise?

Didn’t a lot of the W3 devs leave CDPR?

I don't think they've given us any information about the story beyond 'You play as Ciri, who's a witcher now'

 

[mrk]

Nobody knows the story yet.

Bear in mind this game isn't coming out until late 2026 at the earliest.

Ah, so they’ve already taken a big sizzling poop on established canon.

 

[Ascendancy]

Yeah not sure how they're going to handwave away the whole trial of grasses thing but it's early days yet.

It all looks great but we've been down this road with CDPR before.

I'll believe it when I see it actually running on the PS5 in my house lol.

 

[doodah]

Exactly, looks damn impressive and whilst they fixed a number of wrongs with Cyberpunk - I'll remain cautious (marketing department and shareholder pressure still have plenty of time to **** things up).

 

[Parky]

Hopefully there's some better footage later, it's all horribly compressed/blurry.

This for me (except PC not PS5), it wouldnt be the first time that we've seen a mindblowing early glimpse of "ingame" footage, only for the game to look nothing like it come release.

Got my fingers burnt pre-ordering CP2077 so that I could preload it, looks like I’ll probably do the same again for the W4. Rubbish internet doesn’t leave me a load of options unless I want to play it a few days after launch.

Looks stunning and can only look even better on PC though.

Is it really not due until the end of next year?
