CD Projekt Red has confirmed Ciri will take center stage in The Witcher 4, a decision driven by both narrative progression and the source material's inherent potential. Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega explains that Geralt's story arc concluded in The Witcher 3, leaving the door open for Ciri, a character with significant depth and complexity already established in the books and previous games. This allows for fresh creative avenues and narrative possibilities.
Director Sebastian Kalemba highlights Ciri's younger age as a key factor, offering greater flexibility in shaping her character arc—a freedom unavailable with the more "established" Geralt. The shift, however, wasn't a recent decision; discussions about a protagonist change began nearly a decade ago, underscoring CD Projekt Red's long-term vision for Ciri as Geralt's successor. Kalemba further emphasizes that Ciri's new challenges and perspective will forge an equally compelling narrative.
Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt, supports the change, acknowledging Ciri's rich potential as a protagonist. While Geralt will feature in The Witcher 4, his role will be secondary, allowing for a fresh narrative focus on Ciri's journey.
