Sounds nova, preem even.
As part of the insanely ambitious What Lies Unseen datamined development history of The Witcher 3, the project’s creators made an amusing discovery: A script for an early version of the quest « Through Time and Space » where Geralt and Avallac’h teleport to Night City from Cyberpunk 2077.
Through Time and Space is one of my favorite quests in The Witcher 3: In order to reach the homeworld of the Wild Hunt, the Witcher and sage have to skip from world to world in a dimension-hopping chain of portals. They find themselves braving a desert planet that was once the bed of a sentient ocean, a toxic swamp, an underwater cave, and a world already ruined by the White Frost. It’s this bracing, exciting, and surprising bit of high-concept sci-fi in The Witcher 3 that I just really dig.
The draft script for Through Time and Space is markedly different from the final one, with Geralt and Avallac’h finding their first portal in a Redanian garrison instead of Novigrad, and they get teleported to, among other places, the court of King Radovid but weeks in the past.
