What if Geralt fromThe Witcher 3took place in aCyberpunk 2077setting? Given that the same studio created both of these games, why not? Additionally, CD Projekt Red intended to use this inThe Witcher,and Data miners’ findings provide evidence of this.

The makers of the wildly ambitious What Lies Unseen datamined development history ofThe Witcher 3came to the following humorous conclusion: An early script for theCyberpunk 2077quest Through Time and Space in which Geralt and Avallac’h teleport to Night City.

One of the most well-liked quests inThe Witcher 3is Through Time and Space. The Witcher and Sage must travel through a series of dimension-hopping portals from one world to another to get to the Wild Hunt’s homeworld. Butthe most controversial scene of the gamewasn’t at this level

They must brave a poisonous swamp, an underwater cavern, a desert planet that was once the bed of a sentient ocean, and a world that has already been destroyed by the White Frost. This bold, thrilling, and unexpected bit of high-concept sci-fi mechanism is what the game is about.

Geralt and Avallac’h find their first portal in a Redanian Garrison rather than Novigrad, and they are teleported to a number of locations, including the court of King Radovid but weeks in the past, in the draft script for Through Time and Space, which differs significantly from the final version. However, the first jaunt would take them to Night City.

Additionally, CD Projekt Red developers have publicly expressed their desire to incorporate a scene such as this, according to theWhat Lies Unseenteam. What area of the city the two would have been in, or even what it would have looked like, is unknown. At this point inThe Witcher 3‘s development (around 2012), CD Projekt Red hadn’t even released thefirst pre-rendered trailerforCyberpunk 2077, which is both legendary and infamous.

Geralt in theCyberpunk 2077Unierse Would Have Been Sick

The What Lies Unseen team claims that CDPR developers have stated in interviews that they intended for Geralt to give some Novigrad coins to a panhandler in this scene, with the same character appearing inCyberpunk 2077as an easter egg, wealthy and successful.

Seeing this in-game in 2015 would have been sick. Instead, CDPR has taken a more subdued approach to suggesting thatThe WitcherandCyberpunkshare a multiverse connection. However, for the next The Witcher game to succeed, CDPR shouldavoid having any connection withCyberpunk 2077this time.

Despite Cyberpunk 2077 Disaster CD Projekt Red Targets Multiple Platforms For The Witcher 4 Launch Unlike Baldur’s Gate 3

One such example is a persistent, mysterious in-game puzzle inCyberpunk 2077that mimics a secret room in The Witcher 3. It would have been impossible to make those more subdued attempts later if Geralt had simply arrived in Night City and declared,“This place stinks!”

That’s about all that is known about the scene, and since it simply wasn’t included in the game, it is obviously not canon. The idea is entertaining, and it would have been intriguing to observe how this Night City might have differed from the one we are all so accustomed to today.
