The actor who gave his voice to Geralt is ready to return to voice the character in the remake of the first part of The Witcher

In October, a remake of the first part of The Witcher was announced. The development of the project is at a very early stage, so apart from the fact that it is engaged by the Polish studio Fool's Theory, nothing is known.

Despite this, actor Doug Cockle, who has voiced the English voice of Geralt in the trilogy, in an interview with Eurogamer said that he is ready to return to the role of the famous witch in the updated game.

Here's What We Know

He believes that creating a remake with the most modern technology, including the Unreal Engine 5, it would be unwise to leave the old voice acting. According to Cockle, 15 years ago the approach to the voice acting was not professional enough, so now the speech of the characters seems unnatural and contrived, and the sound quality is no longer impressive.

By the way Doug Cockle is sure that the remake's developers should not only re-record the sound, but also edit the dialogues of the characters.

Doug Cockle also noticed that there are much more opportunities for actors and character creation in the modern game industry, and he has been paying a lot of attention to the image of Geralt over the years and he is able to convey all the nuances of his mood, character and outlook with his voice.

In general, CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory have not yet started a full-fledged work on The Witcher Remake, but there is already someone to voice the main character.
