Remember when the voice behind Geralt said the titular Witcher won’t be the protagonist of the next game? Ignore him, as the actor apparently “got slapped” by CD Projekt Red for saying so

Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle previously claimed that we won’t be playing as a loved one. Witcher in the next game, but he can make a mistake.

Earlier this year, Doug Cockle appeared in a YouTube video where he answered a few questions about his career and, of course, the theme of the next Witcher game. At the time, the voice actor claimed that although the character was set to appear in the game, he wouldn’t be a player character this timeit makes sense given what it’s meant to be the beginning of a new saga. Besides, Cockle may not have all the facts as straight as they seem. Appearing in a video from Geektown (thanks, Polygon), Cockle spoke about his claim and retracted it after speaking to developer CD Projekt Red.

“I went online and said something about it and then got slapped by CD Projekt,” the voice actor said, referring to Geralt’s unplayability. “I don’t know how true that is. I’m off the rumor mill. I thought I saw someone from CD Projekt say that Geralt will be in Witcher 4, but he won’t be the main character. Me neither. We actually know if that’s true now because they’re back they turned and went, ‘We didn’t put anything there, don’t say anything.’ So Witcher 4 is a complete mystery to me.

Cockle also said, “the truth is, I can’t answer the question because I signed an NDA. So even if I could, I’d have to lie to you.” These latest comments essentially put us back to square one when it comes to what we know about the next Witcher game, but I’m sure we’ll find out in time.
