The Witcher 4 Voice Cast — Who Plays Ciri and Geralt?
The Witcher 4's reveal trailer came with a surprise most fans weren't expecting: a new voice behind Ciri. Here's exactly who CD Projekt Red has confirmed for the cast so far, what's known about the recast, and what's still unannounced.
CD Projekt Red has confirmed two voice actors for The Witcher 4 so far: Irish actress Ciara Berkeley as Ciri, and Doug Cockle returning as Geralt of Rivia, the role he's voiced since the original Witcher game. Berkeley replaces Jo Wyatt, who voiced a younger Ciri in The Witcher 3 — CDPR confirmed the recast alongside the game's December 2024 reveal trailer but hasn't given an official reason for the change. Beyond these two, the rest of the voice cast hasn't been announced.
01How to Read This Guide: Confirmed vs Unannounced
The Witcher 4 doesn't have a release date yet, so the voice cast is still filling in. Everything below is labeled by its source:
- Confirmed: stated directly by CD Projekt Red or the actor themselves, on the record.
- Unannounced: CDPR hasn't named anyone for this role — treat any name circulating online as unverified until the studio confirms it.
02Ciri — Confirmed: Ciara Berkeley
Ciara Berkeley, an Irish actress, voices Ciri in The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red confirmed her casting alongside the game's cinematic reveal trailer in December 2024, describing her as "a talented actress who impressed us with her enthusiasm and vocal skills."
- This is Berkeley's first video game role. Her prior screen credits include the Hulu/BBC series Normal People, Apple TV+'s Bad Sisters, and the miniseries The Deceived.
- Berkeley voices Ciri both in cinematic trailers and, per CD Projekt Red, in the game itself — not just marketing material.
03The Ciri Recast: What Happened to Jo Wyatt
Ciri wasn't a new character for the series — she was a supporting, playable character in The Witcher 3, voiced there by Jo Wyatt. When CD Projekt Red revealed The Witcher 4 in December 2024, it confirmed Wyatt would not be returning, with Berkeley stepping into the role instead.
- CD Projekt Red has not given an official, detailed explanation for the recast. The studio's public comments have focused on praising Berkeley's audition rather than explaining why the previous actor was replaced.
- The Polish-language voice actor for Ciri was also changed for The Witcher 4, which several outlets have pointed to as a sign this was a broader creative-direction decision for the character rather than anything specific to Wyatt.
- Reaction from fans was mixed — plenty of discussion on social media and Reddit expressed disappointment at losing a voice tied to The Witcher 3, alongside curiosity about how a new performer would shape Ciri as a lead rather than a supporting character.
04Geralt — Confirmed Returning: Doug Cockle
Doug Cockle, who has voiced Geralt of Rivia in every mainline Witcher game since the 2007 original, is confirmed to reprise the role in The Witcher 4 — his voice closes out the game's December 2024 reveal trailer, delivering the lines "Time for a new saga" and "See you on the path."
- Before that trailer, Cockle himself had muddied the waters: in an August 2024 interview he said Geralt "won't be the main character" this time, based on what he later admitted was an old, unverified rumor. He said CD Projekt Red pushed back afterward, telling him not to speculate publicly. The trailer cameo is the actual on-the-record confirmation that Geralt returns — Cockle's earlier remark wasn't.
- Neither Cockle nor CD Projekt Red has detailed how large Geralt's role is or whether he's a controllable character at any point — see our story and setting guide for what's confirmed about his role in the plot.
- Cockle has also continued voicing Geralt outside the games recently, including reprising the role for Netflix's animated film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep (2025) — a sign CDPR and the wider franchise still treat him as the character's default voice.
05What's Still Unannounced
Beyond Ciri and Geralt, CD Projekt Red has not published a voice cast list for The Witcher 4.
- No word yet on whether other Witcher 3 regulars — Yennefer, Triss, or Dandelion, for example — return, or who would voice them if they do.
- No casting news for any new characters specific to The Witcher 4's story or the Kovir and Poviss setting.
- CDPR has historically confirmed cast details gradually through trailers and showcases rather than one full announcement, so expect more names to surface as marketing ramps up closer to launch.
