CD Projekt Red confirms Ciri will be the main protagonist of The Witcher 4, a decision driven by both narrative progression and the potential inherent in the character. Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega explains that Geralt's story arc concluded in The Witcher 3, leaving Ciri, a character richly developed in both the books and games, as the ideal successor. Her complexity offers exciting new creative avenues for the developers.
Director Sebastian Kalemba highlights Ciri's younger age as a key factor, allowing for greater player agency in shaping her character arc—a freedom unavailable with the established Geralt. The shift, interestingly, was considered nearly a decade ago, solidifying Ciri's position as the natural heir to Geralt's mantle. Kalemba further suggests that Ciri's unique challenges will forge an equally compelling narrative.
The decision has garnered support from Geralt's voice actor, Doug Cockle, who acknowledges Ciri's considerable potential as a lead character. While Geralt will feature in The Witcher 4, his role will be secondary, emphasizing the fresh narrative perspective offered by Ciri's story.
