With The Witcher 4 being confirmed to replace Geralt with a new protagonist, it will need to work hard to replace one of his best companions.
Though it’s too soon to tell what level of impact it will have on The Witcher series and its fans, The Witcher 4 is leaving Geralt behind as its main protagonist, although the iconic monster hunter will reportedly still be featured in the game to some extent. It’s currently unclear who will be replacing Geralt as the main protagonist in The Witcher 4, and although Ciri is a popular candidate, even she may not inherit the role. Nevertheless, it might all be for the best in the end, especially with CD Projekt RED’s hopes to attract newcomers to the franchise rather than continue catering to its loyal fans.
In light of the news that The Witcher 4 will be moving on without Geralt, it means that many of his longtime companions may be left in the dust as well. One of Geralt’s companions, however, is unlike any other; a companion who has remained at his side in one form or another and has shared a bond with him that none of his other friends, acquaintances, or lovers ever could. That companion is Roach – Geralt’s faithful steed, who has captivated with his lovable personality, hilarious glitches, and adorable relationship with his owner.
