As The Witcher 3 approaches its 10th anniversary, voice actor Doug Cockle reflects on its lasting impact. He cites its remarkable quality in animation, gameplay, visuals, sound design, and storytelling as reasons for its initial success and continued acclaim. Cockle notes that few games have since matched its immersive storytelling. Furthermore, he emphasizes its role in introducing the source material to new audiences, enriching its relevance and significance in gaming. Despite not returning as Geralt in the sequel, he remains excited for the franchise's evolution.
"It was a milestone in game development for all kinds of reasons: the quality of the animation; the quality of the gameplay; the visuals; the sound design; the storytelling; the writing," Cockle explained. "All of it was so amazing when it first came out, and it continues to be amazing."
"I think there are very few games that have come out since that have approached that level of immersive storytelling that [The Witcher 3] achieved in 2015 when it first came out."
"It's also the game that brought the books to a wider audience... I think that was a big part of what made it then - and still makes it - important and iconic."
