Can you even call it The Witcher then? Looks good for a spin-off, sure… But not The Witcher.

Yes you can. Ciri is just as worthy of being The Witcher as Geralt is. The story has always been about her. Even in the books it’s evident that she is the main character along with Geralt (it varies between them who gets the most focus). Also, Geralt literally speaks at the end of the trailer. Who’s to say he is not in the game?
Anyway I’m over the damn moon. Best unexptected trailer I’ve seen in a long time. Day one and all that jazz. Time to replay the Geralt trilogy.
As a massive long time fan of the books and games I’m 100% on board with Ciri being the protaganist. If you want Geralt the original games are not going anywhere. In fact, they are remaking the first game and I will bet it’s going to release before this game. Geralt had his happy ending in Blood & Wine, it’s time for Ciri to step into the spotlight where she belongs.

Good points.
To be honest, I am not a big enough Witcher fan, I should have kept my mouth shut

Haha. No man. Your opinion is just as valid as mine.
I’m just a massive fanboy so my opinion might be influenced by my bias towards it. I do honestly think Ciri is the perfect choice. I don’t know if you played Blood and Wine expansion for W3 (you really should if you haven’t) but if you do all the “right choices” (in my mind canon choices) with Ciri you get a great ending that puts her on the Witcher path which I think leads into Witcher IV ( just guessing here).

Yeah I suppose it would be weird for Gerald to finally get his retirement and then just go back in. I’m sure he will be in Witcher 4. As a mentor and knowledge base for Ciri(like Vesemir for Gerald) and companion on certain missions. Anyways I love Ciri and would be cool to have a full on story as Geralds successor.

I totally forgot about Blood and Wine, and I’m sure I didn’t get the perfect ending.
While I haven’t read the books, they will always get “official” status from me over games and shows, so your views are most welcome.
I didn’t actually end up playing Blood and Wine.
I finally played Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine 2 years ago. 6 years later lol. Both well worth it, one of the few DLCs I genuinely enjoyed.

It was always going to be Ciri. She is the main character of the Witcher universe.
Looking forward to the game. I am sure Geralt will have a cameo here and there.
