Dandelion Is Returning in The Witcher 4 as Voice Actor Confirms Recorded Lines

Dandelion appears set to return in The Witcher 4, with longtime Polish voice actor Jacek Kopczyński revealing that he has already recorded dialogue for CD Projekt RED's next mainline RPG. Kopczyński discussed his work during PSX Extreme Party 2026 in Warsaw, where he confirmed that he had recorded "something" for The Witcher 4, although apparently not a large amount so far. CD Projekt RED itself has not formally announced Dandelion as part of the cast, making this an informal confirmation from the actor rather than an official character reveal.

The development is particularly interesting as The Witcher 4 moves the main protagonist role from Geralt to Ciri. Dandelion has been closely connected with Geralt throughout the books and previous games, but his history with Ciri gives CD Projekt RED plenty of opportunities to retain him as part of the new trilogy. Kopczyński did not reveal the character's importance or how many additional recording sessions may be planned, so the small amount of dialogue recorded so far should not be interpreted as confirmation of a cameo or limited role.

There is also an unexpected detail surrounding The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's upcoming Songs of the Past expansion. Despite Dandelion being directly connected to its story, Kopczyński said he has not yet been called into the studio to record his Polish dialogue for the expansion. He is reportedly still waiting for an invitation to read the script and begin recording. That has created speculation that Dandelion may have less direct screen time than expected, although recording schedules alone are not enough to establish the size of his role.

The uncertainty stands out because Songs of the Past is closely tied to Dandelion and his origins. As previously detailed in our coverage of The Witcher 3 Remastered and Songs of the Past, Geralt travels to the new region of Letten alongside Dandelion, whose connection to the area becomes central to the mystery. CD Projekt RED and Fool's Theory are developing the expansion for a 2027 release, with its overall scope previously described as closer to Blood and Wine than a smaller downloadable content package.

The expansion represents another major step in CD Projekt RED's wider Witcher roadmap. Songs of the Past brings Geralt back more than a decade after The Witcher 3, while The Witcher 4 begins a new saga centered around Ciri. Dandelion appearing in both projects could provide an important narrative connection between Geralt's era and the next generation of the franchise.

Dandelion returning in The Witcher 4 makes considerable narrative sense. He is one of the franchise's strongest links between Geralt, Ciri, and the wider history of the Continent, giving CD Projekt RED a familiar character who can help connect the previous trilogy with Ciri's new story. His current lack of recorded dialogue for Songs of the Past is more curious, but it is too early to assume that means a reduced role. Voice production schedules can vary considerably, particularly for a large expansion still targeting 2027.

Would you like Dandelion to have a major role alongside Ciri in The Witcher 4, or should the new trilogy focus primarily on an entirely new cast?
