The community lead for CD Projekt Red has the Internet all riled up, as he suggests in a tweet that Geralt of Rivia could venture outside of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and into an upcoming 2018 title.
While some fans are speculating that this could mean we might see him in Cyberpunk 2077, the current favourite suggestion is that Geralt will crop up in Soulcalibur VI, which sounds very plausible to us. SoulCalibur games have always played host to guest characters, so we don't think it's out of the question.
However, this is all guess work right now, so take it with a pinch of salt for the time being. What upcoming games could you see guest starring Geralt? Do you think he'd be a good fit for Soulcalibur VI? Hunt down your thoughts in the comments below.

Would be great, though I'm actually wondering how the contract would work as he's a book character. Would CD Projekt actually be able to do that?
It's got to be Soul Calibur, right?
If they put Geralt in SoulCalibur I'll absolutely lose my sh*t.
@get2sammyb Yeah, SoulCalibur makes the most sense to me.
On the topic of SoulCalibur, let's not forget that Bandai Namco published The Witcher 3 in Europe, so there's a connection there.
Trying not to get my hopes up but it would be super cool.
Soul Calibur would be awesome, but I'm still holding out hope for a Dark Souls or Bloodborne cameo for Soul Calibur as well!
Didn’t they just put Aloy into Monster Hunter World? Maybe Geralt shows up there?
@Th3solution I've seen this suggested as well, but he's said an "upcoming" game, so probably not. But I could definitely see Geralt in Monster Hunter.
@ShogunRok It will be. Like you say, the connection is already there. Geralt's combat style is also a perfect fit. And SoulCalibur has a history of guest characters.
This is nailed on IMO.
@Quintumply Ahh, I missed that little detail.
I am low-key excited for Soulcalibur, even though I don’t particularly get into fighters.
@Quintumply @Th3solution I've played alongside at least two Geralts in Monster Hunter: World. Players who have customised their characters to look just like him. It's always an honour.
Spider-Man, obviously.
@Th3solution That would be cool. Geralt in Monster Hunter would make sense. He is basically a monster hunter after all.
Red Dead Redemption 2? Or is he gonna cut Spyros head off in the upcoming remaster? It won't be Cyberpunk as Ciri may be in that. Soul Calibur seems to be the sensible choice given the history of cameo characters, now we just need Link back to find out who is better 😉
@eightdotthree He is THE monster hunter.
Lock your daughters up, witcher's coming.
I think it would be Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter would make more sense but probably Soul Calibur...and that is sad cause that game looks MEH
@Feena Right. I want it to be Monster Hunter, but it'll probably be Soul Callibur. The tweet mentions "upcoming game later this year". Either way, pretty cool.
@Cassetticons I think CD Projekt have ownership of The Witcher I when it comes to video games. It's like Sony Pictures own the Spiderman movies but Marvel still make comics on him.
I was gonna post SC6 that instantly came to my mind he'd he a good fit
Why not both Monster Hunter World and Soul Calibur VI?
It could happen.
Isn't it obvious? He's going to be in smash.
@NintendoFan4Lyf
He shows up in Bayonetta 3 boom.
PSASBR 2, PS5 exclusive launch title.
@Cassetticons Yeah, they can. They own the rights as far as video games go. And I believe that Geralt, at least in the way he appeared in The Witcher, is made by CDPR. He definitely looks different in the artwork on the books.
What if we could play Witcher game inside a gaming device within the game world of Cyberpunk. A game within a game like the Yakuza minigames.
Must be Super Seducer, with his reputation.
Monster Hunter would be perfect!
@adf86 @Octane That makes sense, a carte-blanche on just "video games".
Far cry 5. Duh!
its 1100% not going to be Cyberpunk 2077
Although adding William from Nioh, 2B from Nier:Automata, or even Artorias from Dark Souls are definitly great candidates for guest characters, Geralt from Witcher 3 is probably more believable because of his playstyle, the fact that the game published my Namco in Europe, and that adding him could help boost the sales in the West since Witcher 3 is a much more beloved game in the western audience. Probably why MHW sold the most copies on the PS4 version was thanks to the HZD event (and the MH playstation fans of course)
I'm hoping for SoulCaibur VI, would give me another reason to play it.
