Geralt of Rivia voice actor Doug Cockle has revealed the White Wolf will star in the next mainline Witcher game, codenamed Polaris, but not as the main character. Developer CD Projekt Red has long made clear that Geralt's saga has come to an end, meaning a new protagonist was fully expected for Polaris, but this is the first confirmation he'll be in the next game at all — and fuels some rampant fan theories . Cockle didn't share any specific details about Geralt's role in Polaris in an interview with Fall Damage but did confirm his involvement.
"I can't say anything about [Polaris]," he said. "What we know is that Geralt will be part of the game, we just don't know how much, and the game won't focus on Geralt. "It's not about him this time.
We don't know who it's about. I'm excited to find out. I want to know.
I have not seen any script yet. I mean, I couldn't tell you if I did. This is the thing, so I could be lying through my teeth.
But I'm not. Or am I?" Spoiler Warning: The following paragraphs feature spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Only a single teaser image has otherwise been revealed for Polaris, but it was enough to fan the fire of fan theories which believed Ciri would be the next mainline Witcher game's protagonist.
What's considered the "true" ending of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, thanks to its story being continued in comics considered canon to CD Projekt Red's universe, sees her become a witcher herself. The teaser image also showed a medallion of a lynx .
