I have no interest in playing as V especially since we had multiple endings. I prefer a clean slate. Also I prefer the game taking place closer to 2020, lets say cp 2047.
Agreed, a new character is in order. I do think a different protagonist for each game/story fits the Cyberpunk world better
No one knows. But given the information that we have I think it is safe to assume:
- If they go with a preset or create your own character then it will likely be a Witcher from 'Lynx' school.
- If there are life path/school options or multiple main characters - then one of those options or main characters will likely be a Lynx school Witcher.
- The setting is likely somewhere cold or the new story potentially ties into white frost again.
This is because the only teaser we have is a Lynx school medallion covered in snow.
There is a way to make V weak, or 'level zero' again. They get the chip removed, the chip was what made them so OP. The chip is gone and they're cured, then they're back to level zero...The good news, V lives. The bad news, they're no longer OP. Win-win?
OR we can have a new character and not be burdened with all the baggage that comes with playing V again. honestly i don't think there is a snowballs chance we will play as V again, thank god.
I would prefer to play as V again, but to each their own. My V's story ain't over. He hasn't robbed that damn space casino yet!
They ought to, after all Thronebreaker is called The Witcher and you don't even play as one
That would suck and be a really lazy form of writing, leaving all of that build up underdeveloped. Why create so many characters and plot threads if you're not going to follow up on them?
THIS. The endings themselves are so open and cliff-hanger-y that it would be foolish not to have V's story continued. All paths appear to lead to Mr Blue Eyes anyhow, so that HAS to be explored. There has to be a conclusion...right?
Honestly, I won't say "all the endings are so open".
The Sun, for sure. The others not really
The suicide ending doesn't count. It's kind of like a 'game over', but The Star and The Devil and Temperance are open as in V's fate is up in the air.Honestly, I won't say "all the endings are so open".
The Sun, for sure. The others not really
I don’t care if it a V reboot or not anymore. Usually I’d be against it, but now… so fucking what.
All I want is at least semi-good RPG mechanics and rich RPG gameplay. Those really aren’t present in 2077.

Devil ending open ?
I suppose it's matter of interpretation
Devil ending :
- If V decide to go in Mikoshi it's like going in a "jail" (Because nothing indicate that Arasaka will even try to search a solution... In the contract : engrams don't have any official rights. And Goro also say that Arasaka don't care anymore about V...).
- If V decide to return on earth, Goro clearly say that V will die no matter what.
Doesn't sound very "open" to me.
Star ending :
I don't believe a second that Panam will manage to find someone which will do better (on a unknow technology) than Arasaka experts in Devil ending.
Temperance :
For me it's Johnny's ending. He give up its obcessions for the first time ever and leave Night City. V simply vanished in the Cyberspace.
Unlike the Sun, where Mr Blue Eye and V have some kind of agreement. So I agree, The Sun is open, but not the other ones.

We don't know who those contacts are, and they seem pretty confident so who knows. As far as the Sun, unless V wants to go out swinging then the Crystal Palace is 'worth it'. It's just I wish we knew what V was after, and what kind of "reward" their getting.
They "seems confident". But like Alt said, they say what V want to hear (you would accept any answer which make you feel better... It's human).
And those "contacts" certainly don't know anything about the Relic and how it work (a secret technology that even those who created it struggle to made it work and to comprehend totally).
In short, it's like if you where sick (a totally unkown malady which even best specialists that you already consulted are unable to health) and your buddy say : No worry dude, I know a doctor, he's great, he will cure you for sure. Obviously, this doctor don't even know that you exist and even less about the malady that you have... so to garantee that he will cure you, seem to be a damn shortcut.
Not impossible, but highly improbable if you ask me
Total opposite with the Sun ending, in which V meet Mr Blue Eye and probably "explain" everything to him. Mr Blue Eyes, failing to be someone you can trust (involved in a "brainwash" conspiracy^^), we know is a part of a powerful organization, which have access great ressources and advanced (or even unknown) technologies. So there are "chances", at least if this "deal" doesn't end like almost every others deal that V made
That's just why, in my opinion, the only ending which is "open", it's the Sun ending. The other ones are not

Even Alt is unsure how long V could live, she says 6 months or longer or something like that.
"After I transfer your construct into your body, you will die. It is inevitable. It is imminent. You shall live for about six months. Perhaps somewhat more"
True, she's unsure about how many time exactly left to V*, but sure about how it will end (the exact same statement than Arasaka experts)
*Imagine : you will die in 6 months, 2 days, 3 hours, 16 minutes and 27 secondes... set your watch !

Well the thing about the Engram endings where Alt turns you into one and you can give up your body to Johnny Silverhand is that there's actually the possibility of putting your consciousness into another body, be a clone or a Full Conversion cyborg. The technology for such existed in 2020 and certainly got more advanced in Cyberpunk RED. It's just that the expensiveness of acquiring this sort of technology is beyond the means of someone like V.
But not someone like a megacorp.
Really, the big benefit of the Relic is that it doesn't require a cloned body and that it was damaged.
Consider how long ago Cyberpunk 2077 was "announced".
May 2012.
If same pace would hold true, Cyberpunk 2 would release in 2031 (nine years).
If you feel the need to be optimistic, be my guest.
