CD Projekt Red surprised players with a curious remaster easter egg that ties The Witcher 3 to Cyberpunk 2077, and it sits hidden in the world of Velen. The mystery centers on three towers standing beside the Ruined Bastion. Activating the switches near these towers triggers a portal that appears on a distant hillside. Entering the portal transports Geralt to the bastion itself, where a visit to the basement houses spectral inhabitants and a wall mark linking to Cyberpunk 2077.
Fans have deciphered the markings on the tag, revealing the code FF 06 B5. This code is visible in the presence of Cyberpunk 2077 and features a statue that depict a character from the other game universe. The meaning of the label remains unclear, and the exact way to deal with the surrounding phantoms is still a topic of speculation among players.
What the community debates is whether the hidden tag hints at Ciri crossing into the Cyberpunk 2077 world, a theory that has yet to be confirmed. CD Projekt Red has spoken about the remaster’s optimization challenges, and in response, the studio has taken steps such as offering new armor cosmetics for The Witcher 3 to accompany the updated experience.
These additions invite players to explore the crossovers with fresh curiosity, inviting long time fans and new players alike to connect the dots between the Witcher saga and the futuristic cyberpunk setting. The remaster continues to grow in popularity as a bridge between two beloved universes, encouraging exploration, discussion, and a wider appreciation for the developer’s broader storytelling universe.
