Here's Geralt of Rivia Voice Actor Doug Cockle's Best Theories on What The Witcher 4 Is About
Spoiler Warning: This article features spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and minor spoilers for the Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski.
No one beyond CD Projekt Red knows what the next Witcher game, codenamed Polaris, is going to be about. That includes Geralt of Rivia himself, but his voice actor Doug Cockle certainly has some theories.
Speaking to IGN, Cockle made clear he doesn't have any insider information on the next instalment — which has so far only been teased through a single image showing a Witcher medallion in snow — but shared what he thinks, and hopes, will feature in Polaris.
"Their focus for the game is not going to be Geralt. They've said that, so I'm really excited to see what their focus is. I have ideas but that's all they are," Cockle said.
"Some people have seen the image of the medallion that has been put out by CD Projekt that looks like a Lynx. They've said maybe they're going back in time to look at some of the origins of the Witcher schools and stuff like that, and maybe they'll focus on a Witcher from the Lynx School or something. I'm just saying what other people have said."
The Lynx School isn't a part of Witcher lore currently, though the Cat School is. That being said, and unlike the Netflix show, Witcher medallions match if they're of the same school, meaning all cat medallions look the same, all wolf medallions look the same, and so on, meaning the lynx medallion is essentially unprecedented.
A lynx is a cat, of course, so this new medallion could be an offshoot or variation of the previously established school. What's interesting, and ties into another popular theory mentioned by Cockle, is that Geralt's ward Ciri wore a cat medallion in The Witcher books. Final spoiler warning
