Yennefer of Vengerberg’svoice actress doesn’t know whether her character will appear inThe Witcher 4,even thoughGeralt of Riviais confirmed to be part of theRPG adventure.
The Witcher 4 Production Status
A new entry inThe Witcheruniverse is currently in development atCD Projekt RED, with numerous official details already revealed. Formerly known asProject Polaris, the game now dubbed The Witcher 4 has its protagonist confirmed.
Following the events ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, young Ciri will embark on a solo journey. The Polish studio has even drawn comparisons between her ideals and those of the secondary character Mioni.But don’t get your hopes up just yet—this RPG won’t be arriving until 2026 at the earliest. In the meantime, you can tide yourself over with The Witcher’s upcoming prequel novel, set to release in Spain this September.Aside fromCiri, it has been confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will appear as a supporting character, once again voiced by the iconic Doug Cockle.
What about Yennefer of Vengerberg?
Geralt’s great love from the original trilogy may not return inThe Witcher 4. In fact, it’s unclear whether the sorceress will appear at all—even her voice actress isn’t sure.
Denise Gough, who voiced Yennefer inThe Witcher 3, confirmed in a brief interview with Eurogamer that she has no information about the character’s return. Gough, also known for her role as Dedra Meero in Star Wars: Andor on Disney+, admitted she’s been kept completely in the dark.
Reflecting on Her Role
Gough recalled her unusual introduction to video game voice acting, saying she had little knowledge of the medium when she worked onThe Witcher 3.
She also shared a humorous anecdote about fans and sound engineers who would whisper to her during recording sessions, asking, “Are you Yennefer?”—to which she’d respond, “Who’s Yennefer?”
“I didn’t know what I was doing. I’d never worked on a video game. A lot of men would come up to me in the sound departments on film sets and whisper, ‘Are you Yennefer?’ And I’d ask them, ‘Who is Yennefer?’” Gough recalled.Some fans believe this could be a misdirection to avoid spoilers, while others suspect CD Projekt may have recast the character or written her out altogether.
Uncertainty Ahead
For now, Yennefer’s presence inThe Witcher 4remains a mystery. Perhaps more will be revealed at the Summer Game Fest 2025?What is certain is thatThe Witcher 4will explore never-before-seen regions and locations in an open world, with NPCs promising “a more immersive experience than ever before.”
