🅰Doug Cockle, the smokey voice behind Geralt of Rivia, never expected The Witcher series to blow up and become the cultural force it is today.
Before landing the lead role in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red's first Witcher RPG - itself an adaptation of a fantasy series of novels that weren't too popular outside of P🍨ola🍎nd - Cockle's video game experience was limited to smaller characters in RuneScape, TimeSplitters 2, and the iconic role of 'Additional Voices' in Perfect Dark Zero.
. "[The Witcher] was a cult game. Until suddenly, it wasn't. Right up until about six months after Witcher 3 came out, I still didn't have a clue how big the game had become."That's not just a matter of opinion either. The Witcher 2 sold around 8 million copies in its first three years on shelves, 😼while The Witcher 3 matched those numbers in a matter of months and has since moved a monstrous 50 million copies. ꦛBig difference, right?
Cockle's take on the monster slayer is now (almost) just as famous, too, with the live-action Netflix show's rendition largely aping his brooding voice and gruff inflections. Cockle is so memorable in the role that he's set to pick the dual swords back up in the upcoming animated series, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep.
The more pressing question for long-time fans is whether Cockle's voice will crack over 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4, which currently has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"over 400" developers working on it. Last we heard, Cockle repeatedly said he had "no idea" what the new Witcher trilogy would be about before guessing that world-hopping ward 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ciri would step into the spotlight.
