Aside from the codexian reactionary objections...
It's just generic. Ciri being the protag is the obvious corporate milking choice.
The trailer is the most predictable shit ever. Straightforward monster fight, you can't change you destiny yadayada...
The only good thing about it is the folk aesthetic.
Yes, leaving the rest aside, this trailer is basically just a femmed-up reprise of the
Witcher 3 trailer, which itself was already a little on the smug reddit side. Wow, so the real monsters are human? Profound! In both trailers, the humans' crime can be fairly summarized as "misogynistic oppression," so we're not even altering the notes, here.
You speak as if earlier Witcher games had any pro-religion message.
The first two games had tinges of Sapkowski's fedora atheism, sure, but they had a lot less simping, and a lot less padding. Witcher 3's primary sin is that the main story goes on way too long. This is a flaw that is largely corrected in the excellent DLC storylines, but by that point the player has most likely endured 80-ish hours of Quen-spamming dodge rolls only to find out that the whole main game hinges on whether Geralt gave Ciri enough confidence boosting compliments before she goes off to save the world.
Don't get me wrong; I don't hate Witcher 3. It's probably the second-best Witcher (after 1). I enjoyed it when I played through it, 9 years ago. It was an astonishing feat in terms of presentation, in its time. But in retrospect I don't think Witcher 3 holds up very well. Cyberpunk is a superior game in just about every way--better core gameplay/combat, better RPG/character-build mechanics/variety, and a more interesting, and much shorter, main story. Based on themes and characterizations, you might credibly argue that the authors' ideological baggage is far less obtrusive in Cyberpunk.
Nor am I singling out CDPR, here. They're simply victims of a plague that has stricken mainstream corporate game development across the board. At this point, if a studio's semi-big and not based in Bohemia, stick a fork in them.
