CD Projekt has officially announced that Ciri will have a new voice actor in The Witcher 4, marking a significant shift for fans of the series. The reveal follows the premiere of the game’s first trailer, which confirmed Ciri as the main character of the upcoming RPG.

The trailer sparked speculation among fans about a potential recasting of Ciri’s voice. This speculation has now been addressed by the studio, which confirmed that Ciara Berkeley will replace Jo Wyatt, the original actor behind the beloved character.

“Ciara Berkeley was cast as Ciri for The Witcher IV Cinematic Reveal Trailer,” CD Projekt stated to TheGamer.

“Ciara is a talented actress who impressed us with her enthusiasm and vocal acting skills, and in this trailer, we believe she truly brought Ciri to life in a way that is both faithful to the character and exciting for fans of the series.”

The Witcher 4: Full Production Begins

The announcement comes as CD Projekt revealed that The Witcher 4, codenamed Project Polaris, has entered full production. Game director Sebastian Kalemba shared the update on X, expressing his excitement about the next chapter of the franchise:

“I’m thrilled to announce that Project Polaris has entered the full-scale production phase!

“With new challenges just around the corner, it’s the talented and hard-working people who make me believe we can together make the upcoming Witcher Saga a remarkable experience.

“No stopping now! Stay tuned for what’s on the other side of the coin!”

A New Era for The Witcher Saga

The upcoming game is the first installment in a planned trilogy for The Witcher Saga. Sebastian Kalemba, who joined CD Projekt in 2014 as lead animator for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077, has since been promoted to game director for the new trilogy.

Fans eagerly await what’s in store for the franchise as Ciri takes center stage, now brought to life by Ciara Berkeley in what promises to be an exciting continuation of the saga.
