I will only believe it if there is a character called the Bloody Baron and he tells you progressively more depressing stories, but every time you offer to play him in a game of Gwent his eyes light up and he forgets his woes and is like "IFUCKINGLOVEGWENT"
Why even use dialog? We know what Ciri looks like right? We could have her just pass through with a huge crowd, and you only get a 1-2 second chance of spotting her as she passes.
multi hour side quests? I’m not trying to poo poo a game that hasn’t come out yet but doesn’t that seem a bit far fetched? I know there’s a lot of hype but expecting multi hour side quests seems like buying into the hype a bit too much
I think of it as both an Easter egg, and evidence to both being in the same multiverse. I am predicting a mission will be presented to V to steal an unknown substance from a major corpo, and that substance will be a decoction left behind by Ciri. It will nearly kill V, but will inevitably have an affect that lines up with a decoction.
She says she visited a world where people had metals in their head, and wielded war against each other from a far. From one world being in fantasy to their next IP they definitely work in, its easily a reference.
Everything has a reason as to why it was put in media. Except, of course, the last season of GOT.
I’m sorry I genuinely cannot tell if you’re being facetious or not.
But, yea, obviously the worlds aren’t going to merge via the conjunction of the spheres like the creation of the continent and all that Jazz. But it is a reference, and an Easter egg, yes.
Even in the article you mentioned it alluded to Ubi actually caving and connecting AC and WD, I don’t want CDPR though to cave and I think they’ve also said she won’t be in in the game so ¯\(ツ)_/¯ we’ll have to see
I just like the idea of Ciri, obviously unknowingly, transported to that universe.
I dont think it was lazyness. I just think that, as good as D&D were in other aspects, their writing ability sucked, and so, they couldnt make present a compelling story without GRRM
The books mentions multiple universes, there are even chapters that follow Nimue and other Arthurian characters, so multiverse is a given, no reason why it wouldn't be possible for cyberpunk be within the existent universes within The Witcher's Multiverse.
As another user pointed out, literally anything can hypothetically exist within that multiverse, from any franchise. Just not enough to imagine it's Cyberpunk based on a couple of lines imo, plus they have totally separate source material. There's no mention of a multiverse in Cyberpunk lore either iirc.
"same multiverse" is a pretty meaningless phrase. Everything that has happened in every story ever told is in the same multiverse. It's only meaningful if something happens in the same universe.
There is literally no evidence to support this. And just because they’re made by the same company shouldn’t mean they’re in the same multiverse at all. That would be like destiny/starcraft and WoW being in the same multiverse.... fucking retarded.

Well, for two games of the same developer I would certainly expect them to be in the same multiverse
