    Holy clickbait title Batman. They recast her as compared to the previous games. The title makes it seem like they recast her as a response to all the neckbeards shitting on the trailer.

      In what way? The title doesn’t make it seem like anything, it literally just says she’s been recast

        By being intentionally vague, a lie by omission. They could have easily included something that made it clear a different actress has the role as compared to the previous games, but chose not to.

        They also used the word “recast” to imply a change was made in the casting of The Witcher 4, whilst this isn’t the case. They simply went with a different actress as compared to the previous games, which is casting and not re-casting. I don’t know if anybody expected the same actress after such a long time between games?

        They would also be well aware of the sad reactions to the trailer because the lead in a game isn’t a man. So I content they intentionally chose this title to imply some sort of a reaction in the casting in response to the trailer. And judging by the number of up votes and people saying the same thing, I don’t think I’m alone.
