In my opinion it doesn't make all that much sense because of major Witcher 3 spoilers.

It makes perfect sense with two of the three endings, and could even work with the third depending on how much CDPR wants to explain the cosmology behind the white frost.

It's almost definitely a break with the series in that you likely won't be able to import your save file, which always was a core feature of the series. There are also other lore details that don't add up here, which have already been explained. There could've been many ways to progress the story but I don't see how that is possible here. It's most likely a soft reboot.

Some games do allow you to import saves from older games that have swapped the MC. They just take the choices you made in the story arc and use that to create conditions for the world you’re now in. But it’s a rare occasion from what I know.
