So i watched the trailer.

Meh, awfully generic, which in current year feels kinda radical i gotta say.

Not faulting them for playing it safe with their very first game but the fact you basically get to play Geralt again is a bit much. It could have been a whole lot worse sure but come on.

Well, since the true Geralt finally retired and passed his trade to Ciri, Dawnwalker guys decided to give as a new Geralt we can play as for several more games. No one can say they are not delivering what the masses want.

And there's already a sister they can pretend is a suitable replacement for the original protagonist in a couple games. Those guys thought of everything.
And so Polish studios solidify their position as kings of action rpgs!

Resistance is futile. You WILL play as Geralt, his adopted daughter, his new version, or a sister of his new version - and you WILL be happy.

This reads like some female romance novel of a ordinary girl that gets superpowers so she can become more then a housewife.

Too bad the game takes place on earth. Huge wasted opportunity especially in a open world witcher like game. I'm sorry mideval fantasy europe is infinitely more boring to explore then say nosgoth or a original fantasy world. I rather explore a alien dark fantasy world then kingdom comes with vamp shit. Unless the gameplay is amazing this may not be even worth pirating.
Tired of this medieval Europe fantasy setting in 90% of western style RPG. JRPGs that you wrpg snobs here despised a lot are more creative on world setting.
Europe is peak everything and rest of the world can only watch on in awe, worshipping at our feet. Get over it, subhumans.

Don't worry, one day someone will make a game set in the Requiem Vampire Knight's setting of Resurrection.
Requiem Vampire Knight is far too "problematic" to ever get any kind of mainstream adaptation.

Hmmm, maybe I'll add some easter eggs.

I don't know if this game will be good or not - I assume not, coming from people in any way involved in making the witcher. But the people talking about how the vampires in this are going to be portrayed as tortured, misunderstood bad boys with hearts of gold are baffling. Did you watch the trailer? They are obviously not skimping on the "grotesquely evil" aspect.

Real world sucks there is nothing exciting about 1400s Europe. towns and cities at that time 2000-8000k. Everybody knows everyone boring shitholes. The setting and story are the worst things about the game so far. Gameplay is the only saving grace here. How they handle the 30 days and 30 night and being inspired by games like fallout 2. If its somehow shemue fallout 2 had a baby amazing title or euroshovelware technomancer 3/10 garbage. If I had to place my bets its going to be the latter.

I wonder if naming the protagonist Coen is a 280 IQ big brain polack move to get more funding from Big Jew, like when Whoopi Goldberg changed her surname from Johnson to Goldberg to trick the Hollywood kikes into giving her roles (it worked).
