PPRGaming Daily Roundup – November 12, 2026

Hey everyone! Big day with IAE kicking off tomorrow, but a few more things crossed the desk today that deserve a look.

The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past uses AI, with consent, to match Geralt's Polish voice

CD Projekt Red worked with voice company Respeecher on Geralt’s Polish lines for Songs of the Past, the third Witcher 3 expansion due in 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, according to Game File. Jacek Rozenek, the Polish voice of Geralt since the first game, still recorded every new line himself. PC Gamer explains that a stroke in 2019 changed his voice, and because the expansion takes place during the base game, the studio wanted Geralt to sound like he did back then. Rozenek agreed to the process. Localization producer Mikołaj Szwed called it “a special case,” and PC Gamer reports the studio doesn’t plan the same treatment for Doug Cockle’s English performance.

YouTube will run a 24-hour GTA VI launch livestream

With Grand Theft Auto VI out November 19, YouTube announced a 24-hour global stream in partnership with Rockstar, starting at 12 AM ET on November 19 on youtube.com/youtube. It promises live gameplay, creator podcasts and original content with creators including Caylus, Jelly, Jake Baldino and Cinna, kicks off with an RDCWorld pre-show at 11 PM ET on November 18, and wraps with on-the-ground coverage from Miami. YouTube says GTA content has topped 900 billion views on the platform, with pre-launch GTA VI videos already past 40 billion. There’s also a “Visit Vice City” Shorts effect and the official soundtrack on YouTube Music during launch week.

Vindictus: Defying Fate is coming to PS5 and Steam in 2027

NEXON confirmed that Vindictus: Defying Fate will launch on PS5 alongside PC in 2027, per Gematsu. It’s a medieval fantasy action RPG built on Celtic mythology, with a roster of playable heroes that includes series favorites Lann, Fiona, Karok and Delia, each with their own skills and combos, and towering Fomorian bosses to take down. The Steam page lists single-player and online co-op, and leans on perfect dodges, counters and heavy strikes. There’s no exact date yet. NEXON released a short teaser today, and the full cinematic trailer premieres on November 13.

PPR take: The Witcher story is how AI voice work should be handled if it’s going to be used at all: the actor still performs, he signed off, and it’s a fix for one specific situation rather than a way to skip paying people. YouTube’s GTA marathon tells you just how big next week is going to be, and I suspect plenty of us will have it on in the background while the download finishes. Vindictus on PS5 is a nice surprise for anyone who loved the original’s combat. I’ll be watching that trailer tomorrow.
