Before Netflix turned the Witcherverse’s tales into a legendary fantasy series, the realm of the Continent was only explorable by those who would venture into The Witcher games or read Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels that inspired it. The franchise’s initial claim to fame came through the many games that were voiced by the iconic voice actor Doug Cockle. The latest development in that arena is hinting at some additions to the role-playing action game’s previous installments. 

It looks like Doug Cockle who voiced the earlier games may be up for the task too!

Doug Cockle reveals his thoughts on another The Witcher game

In a recent interview with IGN, Doug Cockle confessed his undying enthusiasm towards being the one who lends his voice to Geralt of Rivia in the franchise’s games. He revealed that for both the under-wraps projects, The Witcher Remake and The Witcher: Polaris, he would “love to” keep voicing the White Wolf. Not only that, but the 53-year-old artist was willing to keep going in this role till he was “no longer” able to. 

He went on to explain how the job brings him such joy and has become a “part” of him now. Apparently, every time he gets a call from CD Projekt regarding another project in the works, his heart does “a little flutter and leaps” in excitement. Well, he has come to “love it so much” that he finds the work irresistible. 

This news is bound to be welcomed by fans who were more than thrilled to have him return for another upcoming The Witcher project. 

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep will arrive on Netflix next year

Carved out of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Sword of Destiny, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is set to be another animated spin-off in the rising collection of side tales to emerge from the Witcherverse. What excited fans even more than the prospect of watching the anime was that Cockle was going to be voicing Geralt in it! When Netflix announced this update, netizens erupted in jubilation around the world. 

Especially since the show’s enthusiasts have lost the fan-favorite lead from the Netflix series, Henry Cavill, this news brought back hopes of The Witcher world that still held remnants of its glorious past. The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep will follow a quest that Geralt undertakes with Essi Daven from A Little Sacrifice chapter in Sapkowski’s book and arrive on Netflix sometime next year.
