Maybe, or not.

We can't forget that, even thought CD Projekt Red has earned a well deserved reputation of making quality games, Cyberpunk will be a big departure from The Witcher. It has a completely different setting, a completely new combat system, with guns and not swords, and it's a first person game unlike Geralt's.

Sure, most people won't find any troubles with that, after all Bethesda has been making first person rol games for years with great success, but just because it works for them it means that it will work for CDPR.

It will. Witcher 3 is the 3rd game in the series. How often do we see such an explosion of sales at the end of a trilogy? How many of those that bought the Witcher 3 played 1 and 2... I didn't. I played 2 and 3. 

A new ip with their name attached? Cyberpunk has a chance to outsell Witcher 3. A good chance.

A completely different setting, a hyped developer... Has bungie/destiny written all over it.

Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Bungie/Destiny though... 😂

I hope it does, I really do, but over the years a lot of developers have said that starting a new IP is always difficult because they don't know if it will have success or not. And we have lots of examples of new IPs that failed despite coming from reputable developers (although most of the time, the game had flaws).

And yeah, I hope it doesn't end like Bungie/Destiny .
