A recent leak has given fans their first look at the characters in CD Projekt Red’s upcoming game, The Witcher 4, codenamed Polaris. While the studio is maintaining a strict secrecy policy regarding the details of this new addition to the Witcher series, this leak offers fans a rare glimpse into the upcoming game.
As Reddit user KekanKok pointed out, British actor Jake Lampert recently mentioned working on Polaris (or more accurately, The Witcher 4: Polaris) in his online resume.
According to a post on the website Spotlight, Lampert plays a certain Branko in The Witcher 4 — the first character other than Geralt of Rivia to be revealed to be appearing in the upcoming RPG. Who he is, of course, is still unclear.
It’s worth noting that Lampert’s role is set for 2025. In other words, that’s when, according to the leak, CD Projekt Red plans to begin voice acting and motion capture for The Witcher 4.
The new game The Witcher Polaris will be built on Unreal Engine 5 and promises to be a large open-world RPG, although The Witcher 4’s title is reportedly not final.
