Ciri: Protagonist in

CD Projekt Red confirms Ciri will take center stage in The Witcher 4, a decision driven by narrative progression and the source material's potential. Executive producer Malgorzata Mitrega explains that Geralt's story arc concluded in The Witcher 3, leaving Ciri, a richly developed character in both books and games, as the ideal protagonist for a new chapter. The shift, discussed internally for nearly a decade, represents a natural evolution for the franchise.

Mitrega highlights Ciri's untapped potential, offering developers exciting new creative avenues. Director Sebastian Kalemba points to 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. Kalemba assures fans that Ciri's fresh challenges will forge an equally compelling narrative.

The decision has the backing of Geralt's voice actor, Doug Cockle, who acknowledges Ciri's suitability as the lead. While Geralt will feature in The Witcher 4, his role will be secondary, underscoring the shift in narrative focus. The game promises a new saga, equally epic in scope, built around Ciri's journey.
