Guys CDPR has already announced they are not done with the Witcher Universe at this point. But Geralt's story is over for sure. (Thanks god, there is no point of using Geralt as MC after he finally found some peace.) Hereby i don't think they won't use Witcher 4 as a new game name. Because it will leave an impression that old characters are still involved. And i am pretty sure they will focus on new Witcher game after Cyberpunk release. Because Netflix TV show attract a lot of people's attention (even though it is horrible show in all ways.), now CDPR will try to use that popularity before it fades off. And considering Last Witcher Related content was Blood and Wine DLC in 2016 (Thronebreaker besides). I think it is time to create something new in Witcher Universe.
I would be more interested to see what CDPR could cook up as an original IP.
So would I.
They've managed to build upon the work of others, so it would be intriguing to see if that's what they actually need (a solid ground work from someone else) to be good, or could they cook up something as well done from the ground up themselves.
Truly, I think building on existing IPs is probably more difficult.
I'm not so sure about that. There is - sometimes even extensive - groundword to be done if you just happen to pick a setting out of the blue. Like, if I was to suddenly write a game for Forgotten Realms. It'd be an ordeal because I know next to nothing about it, nor am I really interested in it in the first place. As opposed to if I were to write a game for Fallout, of which I do know a little bit about on how to keep things fairly consistent with the first game.
With Cyberpunk, CDPR is taking a pre-existing "history" of a setting, and in order to not needing to "copy" it, they jump 57 years ahead in time, and thus they don't really need to worry about the original context too much, just that adapt their vision of Cyberpunk somewhat loosely to what was established in 2020 and mine the details from there. They have a lot of stuff that already exists that they can simply pick up and reference to in order to keep the familiarity. Kinda like how Bethesda did with Fallout (take the setting, advance time with a hard hand so you don't need to really consider the source material by other means than a list of names thrown for the sake of brand recognition for old-tyme fans... although, in Bethesda's case they completely missed the point of their source material, which I don't think CDPR did with CP, but nonetheless).
Pretty sure it was confirmed that they are working on Witcher 4 as the next installment. They managed to lengthen the deal where they can use Witcher source material and the next Witcher wont be based around Gerralt but instead you will be making your own Witcher presumably similar to how in CP you will make your own V rather than have a pre-defined character with set looks and a personality.
Sorry if this was mentioned already
