CD Projekt uses AI to adjust Geralt’s Polish voice for upcoming Witcher 3 expansion
CD Projekt worked with Respeecher to adjust Jacek Rozenek’s new Polish-language Geralt recordings for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s upcoming Songs of the Past expansion, Game File reports. Rozenek approved the process after a 2019 stroke and aging changed his voice. The aim is to match his original performance because the expansion takes place during the base game.

The Fool is a bow-wielding musician; developer Mega Crit expects numerous content and balance changes before the character reaches the main branch.
