Will CD Projekt Red re-record voice lines for The Witcher 1 remake? The more we talk to Geralt voice actor DCockle about it, the more it makes sense

with the help of an external studio called Fool's Theory.

But the more we talk about remake, and what things were like when he recorded The Witcher 1, the more apparent it becomes how much things have moved on since then. And the more convinced I am that re-recording the performances is precisely what CDPR will do.Manage cookie settingsContinuity - many of the actors changed after The Witcher 1

As Cockle tells me now:"CD Projekt decided between Witcher 1 and 2 to start with a clean slate. They created a new engine for Witcher 2, to build Witcher 2 in, they decided to go with a whole different production studio - voice production studio - and as part of that there they were recasting everything as well. I ended up being one of the very few who came from Witcher 1 and carried on into Witcher 2 and 3.

But it meant when The Witcher 2 rolled around and CDPR decided to do things properly, professional directors were brought in. And as Cockle points out,"The director's impact on the quality of the recording cannot be overstated."By the time Cockle recorded his final lines for Witcher 3 expansion Blood and Wine, he'd been playing Geralt for more than a decade.

The Witcher 1 was built on BioWare's creaky Aurora engine, which once powered Neverwinter Nights. In gaming terms, that was aeons ago. There were limitations with what it could do, what it could show cinematically, but there are no such limitations now, and I imagine the urge to make the most of those new capabilities and show how far things have come will be strong.
