Witcher followers have naturally been busy poring over The Witcher 4’s tech demo searching for fascinating particulars past the massive apparent teases. One group on Reddit reckon their ears picked up the voice of Witcher 3 actor Richard Hawley.
Hawley voiced just a few characters in Gerry from the Riviera’s RPG clash with the Wild Hunt, with Caleb Menge, Francis Bedlam, and Redanian schemer Sigismund Dijkstra all boasting his dulcet tones. It’s that final one which’ll possible have lodged the actor’s voice into your mind.
It’s additionally the identify that some Witcher followers on Reddit have admitted they shouted on the display screen when Ciri chats to a bearded service provider about her present monster contract at across the ten minute mark, after taking a stroll by Valdrest. I’ve taken a take heed to each the service provider and Dijikstra, and the 2 do sound a bit alike to me, particularly when the service provider says sure phrases. I’ve additionally reached out to CD Projekt for affirmation.
As a few of the followers within the Reddit thread have identified, if that is certainly Hawley, he’d be an curiously becoming inclusion on this explicit tech demo. Along with these characters he voiced in The Witcher 3, Hawley additionally voiced a quantity in The Witcher 2. One among these is Carduin of Lan Exeter, a Koviri mage Geralt meets throughout the summit at Loc Muinne.
As you might need guessed from his identify, this wizard is from the town that CD Projekt ended TW4’s tech demo by teasing by way of a shot of Ciri searching at it nestled within the distance. Spoilers for The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 2 incoming, so skip the following couple of paragraphs if you wish to miss them.
Carduin’s precise destiny within the collection up to now is influenced by the alternatives you made on the conclusion of The Witcher 2, however it’s attainable to run into him in The Witcher 3 relying on what you picked.
In the event you do, he’ll be in Oxenfurt serving alongside Radovid of Redania, because of needing to keep away from being burned on the stake, and to my information isn’t confirmed as being killed alongside the ruler when you select to assist in Radovid’s assassination. So, it appears attainable he might present up in The Witcher 4, particularly if the sport’s story includes issues affecting Koviri politics or involving magic within the area, which appears a great shout if it is greater than a quick cease in no matter journey Ciri’s on. I would definitely be up for it, even when simply to doubtlessly see Esterad Thyssen in non-Gwent card type.
As it’s, TW3 and TW2 had Hawley voicing a number of characters – ones who have been all key figures in Novigrad within the case of the latter. If this tech demo service provider is performed by him and finally ends up being within the ultimate recreation, I’d wager there’s a great likelihood it’ll simply be one of many instances you hear his voice. For now, although, all any of us exterior of CD Projekt can do is speculate.
