No way? A successor to one of the most commercially successful games of the past decades?!
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

Fantastic!
Who wants to bet that it'll come out before Star Citizen?
You are basically asking whether I believe it'll come out...
Oh come on, that's hardly a bet. Everything will come before SC, even the heat death of the universe.
Wow. I'd better start playing the last one.
I was saving it for when I'd finished Elite, and, well...
So, they have made up with the author?
Or still own the rights or something?
They have an unlimited licence for games. They bought it from Sapkowski (Although he later demanded royalties and they paid him, the deal was originally a simple purchase and to my knowledge it is still the case). As long as their games are taking place after the books, they can do what they want.Wow. I'd better start playing the last one.

Speculation from the article, which makes sense to me - they will come back to the original idea for The Witcher 1 game and player will be able to create their own character.
My own additions: it will be MMO or at least coop. It will be placed way before the books even, when witchers were in their best years. There will be a few witcher schools you will be able to start your adventure at. Training first then off you go into the big bad world, where monsters lurk aplenty and witchers earn good coin hunting them. Each school will have different skills to learn (like classes in other RPG's). The schools won't necessarily be friendly towards each other, therefore there will also be PVP aspect.
I think I'd play my game!

Other than that, your ideas sound great.
It's Witcher. No mmo. Ever.I really hope it won't be an MMO

The Witcher 3 is the best video game I've played since I started playing video games with Pong Home in 1975. I've played through W3 so many times, with so many different alliances with all of the DLCs. Last time with a Cat School DPS Euphoria build. The writing, world building, and meaningful decisions - just spectacular. I would be thrilled to go through the tortures of Kaer Morhen under the gaze of Vesemir.
I'd love to see a new game where you are free to create your own witcher. I love Geralt as much as the next guy, but I always felt more like a spectator in a good story. Rather than creating my own. Also, that combat system. I wish it was gone. Very shallow and unrewarding.
Long ago I thought the same about The Elder Scrolls and Fallout... And now look, Fallout is already ruined, and I have very little hopes for Elder Scrolls 6 to not be a pile of micro-transaction infested poop. They're even testing paid quests in Skyrim CK already...
I loved the trilogy (mostly 2 and 3), but if were to be an MMO, it will be my first skip.

MMO isn't really what made the Witcher games great. And it's a completely different beast to make.
In fact, making it an MMO would deprive it from the very things that made it great in the first place.
Well, there is already an Elder Scrolls MMO. And it's actually quite decent. Not made by Bethesda though. But Witcher MMO? It sounds wrong. But MMO set in that setting could be interesting.
I'm not saying there couldn't be a good MMO based on the Witcher universe, but it would be a completely different game from the other Witcher games, just like Elder Scrolls Online has nothing to do with Skyrim or Oblivion, except for sharing the same setting.
I agree; TW3 is definitely better than Pong
