The Witcher 3 originally featured a scene where Geralt visited Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City.

CD Projekt originally planned for The Witcher 3 to briefly visit Night City from Cyberpunk 2077, several years before the latter’s release.

The idea has been discussed by the developer before, but an impressive data mining project has now uncovered an unfinished script for a scene in which Geralt and Avallac’h will appear in a future CD Projekt setting – and aren’t too impressed with what they’ve found.

This moment was intended to be part of The Witcher 3’s “Through Time and Space” questline and serve as an Easter egg for fans hoping to get a glimpse of what CD Projekt would create next.

As revealed by What Lies Unseen and highlighted by PC Gamer, the script for this episode – around 2012, three years before the release of the final version of The Witcher 3 – would have been as follows:

Geralt: What... What is this place? Is this the afterlife?

Avallac'h: No. Just another of the realities the Spiral leads through... Technologically advanced, but broken. Dying.

Geralt: Disgusting. This stench, noise... How can you live here?!

Avallac'h: You should know better. This world is inhabited by humans, not elves.


Insight from What Lies Unseen includes that CD Projekt also planned to have Geralt throw a coin to a beggar, who will then appear in Cyberpunk 2077, rich in your Novigrad gold.

Ultimately, “Through Time and Space” remained in The Witcher 3 – albeit with different sequences in which Geralt played ping-pong between the Ddddyvedkht desert, the poisoned valley, an underwater area and the frozen tundra. Less exciting.

Perhaps now that Cyberpunk 2077 is out, this idea will be easier to implement in The Witcher 4? CD Projekt recently confirmed that its next project has entered “full production”, and Eurogamer recently spoke about the technical ambitions, optimism and timeline the developer is working towards. Perhaps we should expect a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077?
