Hero to zero So CD Projket have officially announced a new Witcher game but I can’t help but notice a distinct lack of excitement online. I realise it was just one picture and no information, but a lot of announcements are like that and people have gone crazy over a lot less.

Obviously it’s because of Cyberpunk 2077 but I’m not sure CD Projekt realise just how much damage it has done to their reputation.

They’re basically rock bottom right now and the extra scrutiny has only exposed that Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t a great game anyway.

I predict that there’ll also be revaluation of The Witcher 3 when the next gen versions come out. Obviously, it is a good game but it does have problems, especially around the combat, and I think these are going to be brought more heavily to light.

There’s no way out for them but to make sure that the new Witcher is just a really, really good game. It’s not going to be easy though as it can’t even rely heavily on nostalgia, since it seems Geralt won’t be in it or will at least be a much smaller role.Onreik
