Ugh, 2027 feels like a lifetime away, but hey—if it means avoiding another Cyberpunk launch situation, I'm all for the wait. That mobile collab with Scopely has me curious though... Witcher gacha game, anyone 😂
Guess I'll just replay The Witcher 3 for the fifth time while waiting—at least the mobile game might give us something fun to mess with in the meantime. CD Projekt taking their sweet time better mean we're getting another masterpiece though
