The voice of Ciri in the first trailer for The Witcher 4 appears noticeably distinct from previous iterations, suggesting that the character has been recast.
Here’s the improved text:
At this year’s The Recreation Awards, CD Projekt Red unveiled its first glimpse of The Witcher 4, delivering a cinematic trailer and a major reveal: Ciri will be the new protagonist, a decision the devs deemed “the only choice.” While the trailer was neat, it’s clear that, given production began last month, this was largely a confirmation that the game is in development and provides a rough outline of its story. One notable aspect was Ciri’s altered voice, sparking speculation among fans about potential recasting. According to TheGamer, Keanu Reeves has reportedly been in talks with CD Projekt regarding his role as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077.
Ciara Berkeley shines as Ciri in The Witcher IV Cinematic Reveal Trailer, bringing depth and enthusiasm to the role. Her impressive acting chops and vocal talents breathe life into the character, staying true to Ciri’s essence while thrilling fans of the series.
Despite the lack of clarification on the recasting decision, it’s clear that fans of the original actress will be disappointed by Wyatt’s departure; nonetheless, initial impressions suggest that Berkeley has a promising voice in the trailer, at the very least. The anticipation builds as we embark on this comprehensive journey!
