Denise Gough, who voiced Van Gerburg's Yennefa in "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunting", is currently unsure whether he will participate in "The Witcher 4".The 45-year-old actress said in an interview with Eurogamer that she knew nothing about the progress of the new game.
“I have no idea about these things,” she confessed, revealing that she didn’t even realize how important the character was when she first recorded the character.
Gough has never participated in the game dubbing before, so it is unfamiliar to her to offer voice to Yennefa.“I didn’t understand what I was doing at the time,” she said.It was not until later that more people (especially male staff from the sound effects department) recognized her on the set that she realized Yennefa had become an iconic character."They would ask, 'Are you Yenfa?' And I asked, 'Who is Yenfa?'" she recalled with a smile.
At the same time, "The Witcher 4", code-named "Polaris", has been officially put into development by CD Projekt Red.The timeline of this game is set several years after the "Witcher 3" incident. Although most plot and character details are still kept confidential, narrative director Philipp Webe confirmed that the team will respect the previous work and the player's choices.
"The specific handling method cannot be disclosed yet," Webber said, but he promised that The Witcher 4 will continue all previous content, including Sapkowski's original novel and the first three games.This means that major player choices may affect the sequel, but whether characters like Yennefa will return is still unknown.
As of now, Denise Gough has only dubbed Yennefa in The Witcher 3.Whether her return depends on how CD Projekt Red continues the storyline in a new generation sequel.Gough once said that she understood the role more through fan feedback than her work itself, which just proved that her performance had a profound impact beyond expectations.
