"The Witcher 4" is destined to shake up the RPG world like most of CDPR's works (even if it may take a long time to wait).Especially this time, the game has ushered in a new protagonist: Ciri will take over the role of the protagonist, taking over Geralt's mantle and starting her own adventure.Not only that, the new protagonist has also changed his voice actor - Ciara Berkley will replace Joe Wyatt as the voice actor.
Geralt's long-time voice actor Doug Coker has been very supportive of Ciri's decision to become the protagonist, while also being unkind to those who "should read the books."Now, in order to show the warm friendship between the voice actors, he once again expressed his belief that Berkeley can also perfectly interpret this new role.

This statement came from an interview with the veteran voice actor in the "Witcher" series during the 2025 Golden Joystick Awards.Coker said he only met Berkeley for the first time on the day of the ceremony, but the meeting convinced him.
"I just had a brief chat with her today and we exchanged a few private messages a few weeks ago to say hello," Coker told the outlet. "She's very sweet and I think she's going to do a great job. She's a real person. I don't really have any advice to give - if she has any questions, I'm willing to talk to her, but she's a very independent person so she'll be fine."
Of course, you wouldn’t expect Coker to meet his new partner (Geralt will still appear somewhere in the game) and say, “She’s not very good.”But it was reassuring to see him fully support the change from start to finish, especially in the face of the same old complainers (the same people who led Cocker to suggest that complainers read the book once in a while).And, given how big CD Projekt is today, this sequel is destined to be something special.
