Witcher 3 Development Unveils Cyberpunk Crossover Plans

Recent discoveries from the What Lies Unseen modding project reveal that an early version of The Witcher 3 included a quest where Geralt and Avallac'h would teleport to Night City, the setting of Cyberpunk 2077. This crossover was part of the 'Through Time and Space' quest, wherein the duo would discuss the advanced yet deteriorating nature of Night City, highlighting Geralt's disdain for the environment. The project also uncovered a wealth of changes from the game's initial development, including a different title, more expansive story arcs, and the absence of Gwent. The early development texts indicate a vision for The Witcher 3 that was significantly longer and more complex than the final release. Despite the ambitious plans, the content was streamlined, likely due to the challenges of game development. Fans of both franchises are intrigued by the possibility of such a crossover, which showcases the creative aspirations of CD Projekt Red during the game's conception.
