The first character for The Witcher 4 Polaris has been unveiled. British actor Jake Lampert will portray a character named Branko, according to information discovered on the online actor's resume platform, Spotlight, by Reddit user KekanKok.
The listing dates the role to 2025, suggesting that voiceover recording and motion capture work for Branko will begin next year, indicating the game is still in development.
The last official update on The Witcher 4 Polaris placed it in pre-production, nearing the transition to full production. While no news has been released since August, the game is likely now in full production, as planned earlier this year.
The Witcher 4 Polaris will be CD Projekt Red's first game developed using Unreal Engine 5. While initially met with skepticism, this shift could benefit the gaming industry. CD Projekt Red's expertise might help Epic Games address ongoing stuttering issues plaguing Unreal Engine 5 titles.
The Witcher 4 Polaris release date remains unconfirmed. Stay tuned for future updates.
