If it was up to you, would you rather that CD Projekt Red made a new Witcher game, a Cyberpunk sequel or something brand new as their next AAA project?

I know Cyberpunk 2077 isn't out yet [3 1/2 months baby!], so it is difficult to determine it's overall quality - or even if it warrants a sequel.

The Witcher III ended Geralt's storyline - but what if The Witcher 4 focused on Ciri?

Perhaps you would just like them to make something brand new and fresh and keep acquiring licenses to create new experiences for us; or even creating something completely new and original in-house?

Let's discuss!

Cyberpunk Sequel. I care more about how a character that I created will move through a story.

The truth is that they will be working on a Cyberpunk multiplayer. Which is even better.

I think it's hard to judge at this point without really knowing what Cyberpunk will be like, but I'm hoping they'll move away from the Witcher - the 3rd was supposed to be the last one, wasn't it?

Create your own char Witcher 4. Though its likely that we'll get both a cyberpunk and witcher sequel then new IP. They said they want to move over to doing 2 AAA projects at once.

A new IP where they finally get their combat together.

Man the Witcher 3 is a god damn masterpiece in every way except the god damn combat. They just never pinned it down across 3 games.

After the Witcher 3, the only way I'd play another witcher game is if it had a create a character.

Yeah. It really is.

The answer is an original IP. CDPR has just been vamping on existing IPs for a minute now. Do something new, huge company. I think they could do something great if they did so.

As much as I eat, sleep and breathe Cyberpunk and all of the media the genre generates [movies, games, books, music], I would much rather go back to the world of The Witcher next because that is definitely a world I would like to see more of.

I feel that if it's done right, Cyberpunk 2077 can get everything a Cyberpunk game needs to get done, all in one amazing package - of course counting the DLC's and the multiplayer.

The Witcher tale has more to tell and could make for more exhilarating new experiences in that world.

Not The Witcher unless Geralt is the lead again, which after this Netflix series and Sapkowski potentially writing he undoubtedly will be.

I have no idea because Cyberpunk isn't even out yet lmao. Maybe a sequel to CP? I'd be interested to see what CDPR does without any source material to work off of though.

If Witcher 4 is Geralt again that will fucking suck, Ciri or create-a-character plz.

Right now though I'm keen on Witcher verse from the show, after playing CP2077 that could change though.

It's not out yet, but it's heavily based off of Cyberpunk 2020 and that's been out for quite some time. Going by it's gameplay, it's lore and it's setting; it's reasonably simple to determine what we can expect from Cyberpunk 2077. Granted, the quests and the main narrative will be new and original, however it's easy to extrapolate from the source material what kind of an experience we can expect - and also what we can hope to experience.

I think it's safe to say that there will be a HUGE gulf between the tabletop game from the goddamn 90s and the videogame that lives in the future.

I have a lot less of an idea of how Cyberpunk 2077 actually plays and feels than almost any other big game coming out next year. How is the shooting? How is the driving? How big/dense is the city? What about story? Minigames? Performance?

Like with TW3, my hopes are that Cyberpunk 2077 ends in such a satisfying way that you don't need a sequel for a long time.

Or ever.

Either way, I agree.

Maybe it's just me [and it probably is], I just feel like if this game is done properly, it shouldn't warrant A sequel. Blade Runner 2049 is outstanding, but I was initially extremely irritated when it was announced that they were making a sequel to Blade Runner because it didn't need one. Sometimes things are perfect just the way they are and don't need to be expounded upon to try improving perfection - if it ain't broke, don't fix it as they say :)

Aren't they already working on two other major projects besides Cyberpunk? I wouldn't be surprised if one is a new Witcher title.
