One of the most beloved voice actors in The Witcher 3 has recently passed away.
Launched in 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to stand out as one of the most captivating games, weaving intricate narratives and fostering deep connections. From the romantic entanglements of Geralt with the fiery duo Yennefer and Triss, to the paternal bond between Geralt and Ciri, and the mentorship shared among Geralt, Ciri, and Vesemir.
Vesemir serves as Geralt's mentor. As one of the few surviving Witchers following the massacre at Kaer Morhen, Vesemir wholeheartedly protects the remaining brethren and guides them to seek honor and glory in monster hunting. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Vesemir valiantly sacrifices himself to ensure Ciri's escape from the clutches of the Wild Hunt, a moment that deeply resonated with gamers worldwide. It's a somber note for fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as the original Polish voice actor for Vesemir, Miłogost Reczek, passed away at the age of 60.
Miłogost Reczek was renowned for his portrayal of Vesemir in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as well as Viktor Vektor, the first Ripperdoc players encounter in Cyberpunk 2077. Additionally, he lent his voice to Thomas the Tank Engine, a beloved character from the globally recognized series Thomas & Friends.
News of Miłogost Reczek's passing appears to have been communicated through a Facebook post from the Polish company Storytel, where Miłogost Reczek worked until his final days before being admitted for cancer treatment in 2018. The post included a brief video snippet of the actor in a recording studio, speaking into a microphone. This video is believed to be from one of his last recording sessions, providing international fans a moment to bid farewell to the man who brought Vesemir to life in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X also in the works.
