Side recorded 450,000-word script for The Witcher 3

Creative services outfit Side partnered with CD Projekt Red to provide the casting, direction and recording for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The scripted consisted of 450,000 words delivered by 950 characters. It was recorded over a period of two and a half years and was led by voice director Kate Saxon.

“I cannot commend Side enough for what it brought to the process and ultimately helped us achieve," said senior Witcher 3 senior writer Borys Pugacz-Muraszkiewicz.

"From casting and our initial recording sessions in the closing months of 2012, through putting the final touches on the voice-overs in Wild Hunt in the early months of this year – the whole team at Side showed immense commitment, focus and stamina.

"With a game world as colourful as ours, it’s comforting to have directors like Kate Saxon, Mark Healy and Damien Goodwin on board – all masters of the human psyche and heart with a keen ear for language in its many regional and social variations."
