CD Projekt Red worked with an AI company on Geralt’s Polish voice in The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
CD Projekt Red used AI voice‑cloning to restore Polish actor Jacek Rozenek’s Geralt voice for the new Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion. After a 2019 stroke altered Rozenek’s voice, the studio partnered with Respeecher, a Ukrainian AI firm, to train a model on his original recordings. The synthetic voice was approved by Rozenek and integrated into the game, while English lines remained unchanged. The project highlights ethical AI use with explicit consent and addresses voice consistency challenges in post‑release content.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The collaboration demonstrates how AI can preserve a character’s authenticity when an actor’s voice changes, offering a practical solution for long‑running games.
- · It also sets a precedent for ethical AI deployment in entertainment, balancing creative needs with performer consent.
