Summary
The reveal ofThe Witcher 4excited many fans,who can’t wait to play as Ciriin a sequel that people were waiting for with bated breath. It’s a great way to enjoy the powers of a witcher who can harness the power of the Elder Blood too.
More importantly,The Witcher 4will let some of the most underrepresented characters in the books get their much-needed time in the spotlight. While players will love it if CD Projekt Red integrates several new characters, returning faces from the novels will surely make many fans happy too.
8Nenneke
It’s Hard To Believe That A Priestess So Important In The Books Hasn’t Appeared In The Games Yet
Given how important Nenneke is in the books, it’s puzzling that she hasn’t made an appearance in the games yet.She has healed Geralt when his wounds were direand oversaw Ciri’s education in the Temple Of Melitele.
Since she served as Ciri’s tutor, it’s easy to see why fans would love to see this character make a return inThe Witcher 4. If the game doesn’t take place after an extended period compared toThe Witcher 3, then her presence is more than justified.
7Iola
A Young Member Of The Temple Of Melitele Who Shares A History With Ciri And Geralt
Back when Geralt was healing at the Temple of Melitele, he formed an intimate bond with one of its younger priestesses. Iola had taken a Vow of Silence, but that didn’t stop her from falling for the White Wolf’s rugged charm.
By the time Ciri came to the temple to receive her education, Iola had forsaken her vow and was delivering messages from Priestess Nenneke numerous times. Her bond with Ciri may not be the strongest, but fans will still like to see her character inThe Witcher 4if CD Projekt Red feels generous enough.
6Francesca Findabair
A Notable Member Of The Lodge Of Sorceresses Who Became Queen
Francesca Findabair is one of the mostpowerful members of the Lodge of Sorceresseswho eventually became the Queen of Dol Blathanna. She had an imposing presence in both the novels and the Netflix TV series, so it’s a shame that she has yet to make an appearance in the games.
This can surely change inThe Witcher 4, especially since Francesca’s status as queen coupled with her lengthy lifespan as an elf ensures that she should be alive and thriving no matter how much time has passed since Geralt’s enthralling adventure.
5Korin
Justifying The Presence Of Geralt’s Father Can Be Hard, But It’s Not Impossible
The possibility of Korinbeing a part ofThe Witcher 4is little to none. Barring an obscure comic book, Geralt’s supposed father hasn’t made a peep in the series and is nowhere near as prominent as his mother, Visenna.
However, with characters like Regis coming back, it’s not completely unlikely that Korin can’t make a surprise appearance either. CD Projekt Red will have to justify his presence inThe Witcher 4if they go for this course of action, letting Ciri interact with a person who could technically be her grandfather because of the familial bond she shares with Geralt.
4Vissegerd
Queen Calanthe’s Dedicated Marshal Who Would Do Anything For His Liege
The fall of Cintra makes it unlikely thatany character near Queen Calantheat the time will make an appearance inThe Witcher 4. However, a compelling case can be made for Vissegerd, one of the most interesting and loyal characters who served the throne with all his might.
It’s clear to see why an interaction between Ciri and Vissegerd would be so tantalizing. The latter would be glad to see the princess safe and sound, provided he has survived by the timeThe Witcher 4comes out.
3King Niedamir
Went On A Hunt For A Golden Dragon With Geralt And Yennefer
One of the most memorable short stories inSword of Destinyinvolves a hunt for a golden dragon whereGeralt and Yennefer reuniteafter a long time. This group includes a young King Niedamir, who joined this hunt to exploit a loophole and marry the princess of Malleore.
However, the golden dragon was simply too elusive for this king to be bothered with a lengthy search. Hopefully, he has matured since this time, since he served as the ruler of Caingorn and did a pretty great job as king.
2Villentretenmerth
One Of The Most Legendary Dragons In The Series And Saesenthessis' Father
Villentretenmerth is one of the most interesting characters inThe Witcherwho is mentioned in the second game. He’s revealed as Saskia’s father, who herself was a shapeshifting dragon too.
This golden dragon eluded a hunt targeting him before eventually revealing himself to Geralt as Borch Three Jackdaws, a knight whom the White Wolf had interacted with before. It’s a great moment that shows just how dense and engaging the fantasy setting ofThe Witcheris.
1Queen Meve
The Protagonist Of Thronebreaker Can Make Her Debut In The Main Series To Great Fanfare
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Talesis a great story-driven experience for players who love Gwent. Queen Meve serves as this title’s protagonist, with players directing her forces to fight monsters and deal with enemy forces.
Her role in the spinoff was lauded by many, and fans can’t help but wonder ifThe Witcher 4will be elevated by her appearance. She shares a history with Geralt, which could make her interactions with Ciri quite interesting.
