“You can’t just have Geralt for every single game.”

I mean… Yes. You literally can.

Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby… You can create infinite video games with the same main character over and over again. Its like an infinite money glitch if the character is popular and well liked.

The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.

Geralt’s story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.

They need to release a fake “Witcher 4” that’s just an older Geralt moping around his vineyard bitching about how his knees hurt. All of his quests would be things like pestering his workers about how badass he used to be, going to town to return a watermelon to the fruit vendor because of a mushy spot he didn’t notice when he purchased it, shit like that.

All the while, the townsfolk would slip idle chatter about crazy shit that Ciri’s doing off camera.

I’d be down for Witcher 4: Winedew Valley

Honestly, as a stopgap that just releases out of nowhere for the sole purpose of building hype for the actual Witcher 4, kinda like how Bethesda did with their random vault dweller mobile game, I’d be all for it.

Bonus points if it’s 16 bit.
