“Keeping my expectations in check”: Fans worried about Witcher 4 facing the same fate as Cyberpunk 2077 upon launch

Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 have nothing in common aside from a common developer, CD Projekt RED. The Polish gaming studio announced the new Witcher game on March 21, leaving a significant part of the community excited.

However, a section of fans are skeptical about how the game will eventually turn out. The reason for the pessimism seems to be stemming from the Cyberpunk 2077 saga.

When CD Projekt RED teased Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time, it seemed like a masterpiece. Back then, there were hardly any RPGs with the scope promised by the title.

However, the game was released after several delays. When it did, the quality of the product was hardly what had been promised.

A lot of work has been done since then to improve the game. However, some fans believe that CD Projekt RED might repeat the same issues with the new Witcher game.

There's no doubt that Cyberpunk 2077 today is quite different from how it was on release. The quality of the game when it first came out broke the trust of many users.

Though CD Projekt RED's work on improving the game was received positively, one fan believes they can't forget what happened. Despite the excitement around Witcher 4, they will continue to keep their excitement in check.

Despite making several great games, CD Projekt RED has been branded as "amateurs" over the ordeal of their previous game.

One fan stated that the hype for the new Witcher saga will never be substantial after what the studio did with Cyberpunk. The fan also referred to the mixed reception of previous Far Cry games, which let down Far Cry 6.

Some fans are banking their hopes on the upcoming expansion of Cyberpunk 2077. One fan believes that if the expansion works, it could redeem the game and generate hype for Witcher
