Okay. O! Good combat.
Well, that’s that. What character would you wish to see? So far only some characters have been formally confirmed, together with new boy Grøh. As for Geralt, he’s clearly not been forgotten about. CD Project Red have additionally hinted at a Witcher cameo of their upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077.
“I think Geralt is a little bit cyberpunk,” Mike Pondsmith told Adam in an interview, “and I hope we can sneak something in 2077 that relates to him without the fans immediately catching on.”
Some within the treehouse have identified that Ciri appears to have been to a cyberpunk world throughout her portal-hopping adventures. So, who is aware of the place all this would possibly lead.
