9 Massive Video Game Rumours That Would Dominate 2016

4. Next Game From The Witcher 3 Team Launches Before Christmas

Likelihood: 3/10 They say 'never say never', so I'm sticking to that adage and applying a few point's worth of credibility to the ludicrous notion that CD Projekt RED are somehow going to release their next fully-fledged triple-A game, Cyberpunk 2077, only a handful of months after dropping the final piece of Witcher 3 DLC, Blood & Wine. Set to essentially do for hard sci-fi and Blade Runner/Deus Ex-style human/cyborg narratives what The Witcher did for fantasy, it would have to mean they'd been working on the project alongside Wild Hunt (a game that has already been bolstered by multiple patches and DLC add-ons) this entire time. I mean, hey it's possible; Gamespot have reported Witcher 3's lead developer is targeting a pre-Christmas release date, having previously mentioned that the team were 'focussing' on Cyberpunk 2077 as of last December - some three years after the announcement it was coming in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P99qJGrPNLs CDPR have proven themselves in the past to be one of the most passionate and steadfast developers around, so although it seems absolutely ridiculous to think they could've developed multiple gigantic games in tandem, when you take into account how long they could've been working on them - it does start to sound plausible. Lastly, consider that at a point in Witcher 3's story, Ciri mentioned she once visited a world that had "people with metal in their heads" and "something flying" - almost definitely being an easter egg to Cyberpunk's world being linked to Witcher's in a really cool way.
