Ciri Could Actually Be in Cyberpunk 2077, According to Witcher Canon

Cyberpunk 2077 may be set in a dystopian future, but according to Sapkoski’s novels, it’s possible for The Witcher's Ciri to visit Night City.

CDPR have already stated that they don't want Ciri in CP2077 - https://www.polygon.com/e3/...

But with enough pressure from fans, I guess they could have a cameo.

Sciurus_vulgaris2083d ago

CDPR could just have a character in Cyberpunk 2077 that looks (and maybe sounds) like Ciri without actually being the same character. It is not uncommon for devs to reference their previous projects in their latest work. For example in Ratchet and Clank there are aliens that look just like characters from Insomniac’s previous series Spyro.

FPS_D3TH2083d ago

Actually it’s the guy who created Cyberpunk 2020 that doesn’t want Ciri in it. CDPR are hoping to convince him otherwise.

Sciurus_vulgaris2083d ago

I think Ciri’s statements about the technologically adavnaced world she visted has nothing to do with Cyberpunk 2077 canonically. CDPR just wanted to indirectly reference their next project in the Witcher 3. Ciri is character from a fantasy universe it wouldn’t make sense for her to be in cyberpunk (a near future title set in our real universe). Ciri, during the Witcher 3 just visited a technologically adavcened world in the Witcher’s fantasy universe.

It wouldn’t make sense to have her become a computer hacker and doing a cameo like she has been there for 50 years but a quick glimpse of her travels between worlds would be a cool nod and it would make sense.

CyberPunk is not set in our universe.

Don't be so hasty, we'll see in 59 years!

@Disagrees

It's literally told by the creator of the game in one of the latest interviews and recaps of the story for this game. It's in a fictional alternate timeline of our world. Inspired by similar alternate history films and stories like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. A history where governments crumble and corporations take over cities and nations, forming militias within themselves, and sometimes fighting each other within their own co-inhabited territories, causing wars to break out.

The story starts way before 2077. It starts in 2013 and was greatly expanded with Cyberpunk 2020. None of this technology was realistically feasible or thought to be when it was written. It's just exciting to explore alternate timelines and familiarity in such a distinctly different world. Just like Fallout is alternate history.

I'm not experienced with the storyline. I've just watched the creators interviews and read a few recaps.

Just saying, alternate history means alternate universe. Though, I don't care for the Ciri theories. Only thing that would be exciting to me is wondering how a Witcher orphan that was left in this world would become. I always irk when people think shoehorning ideas for a cool factor works for entertainment/artistic formats. It's gotta make sense. It needs the writers and creators to feel completely good about the idea and how it would be implemented first.

FPS_D3TH2083d ago

@staticall pretty positive we don’t even have the resources on this planet to make that a reality

Would be a cool Easter egg imo. Something you really have to look for.

EazyC2083d ago

A vague, non-canonical easter egg would suffice. I don't know why people want this.

CorndogBurglar2083d ago

It wouldn't have to be anything significant. Just something that says she's been there. I don't think anyone needs, or even wants a full on cameo of Ciri.

But it would be a cool little nod to find something that points to her having visited that world.

Gwiz2083d ago

She can open up portals so It's not even a problem with the lore.

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan3d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7214d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii14d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast14d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM14d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife14d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit14d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife13d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken26d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror26d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC27d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken26d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
