The Witcher 3: Songs Of The Past Uses AI To Help Geralt’s Polish Voice Actor

When gamers hear that AI has been used during a game’s development, many of them will immediately see red and vow to never play that game ever again. There are ways AI can be used for good in gaming, though, as CD Projekt has demonstrated by using AI tools to ensure Geralt’s Polish voice actor, Jacek Rozenek, can return for The Witcher 3’s Songs of the Past DLC.

The Witcher 3 will get a big new expansion in 2027 titled Songs of the Past, 12 years on from the base game’s original release. For the various Geralt actors around the world who speak for the Witcher in different languages, that meant returning to the recording booth to record more lines.

As Stephen Totilo explains for Game File, it wasn’t that simple for Rozenek, the iconic actor behind the Polish version of Geralt, who many place on the same pedestal as the lead’s English actor, Doug Cockle.

Rozenek suffered a stroke in 2019. Even though he was unable to speak for months afterwards, he returned to the world of The Witcher in 2021 to record more Geralt lines. Just a few for the next-gen update that released in 2022.

The Witcher series is getting its first release since CDPR stopped working with Russia, meaning the DLC is dropping Russian dubbing.

“I was so exhausted after this recording,” Rozenek told Totilo. However, it wasn’t just the effort needed to record new dialogue for Geralt after recovering from a stroke that posed a problem.
