In the Season of The Wish, Destiny 2 is adding Witcher-themed cosmetics, including an emote that allows players to recreate The Witcher 3's iconic bathtub scene featuring protagonist Geralt. This scene has been referenced in various media, and now Destiny 2 players can immerse themselves in Geralt's tub with the purchase of an expensive emote.
As highlighted by Kotaku, the Barrel Bath emote is now up for grabs in the Eververse store for 1,200 Silver, which is just a little over $10. Unfortunately, this means that players without any Silver in their account will have to shell out for the $15 bundle to acquire the emote, leaving them with 400 Silver unused.
"Soggy armor is a small price to pay for true relaxation," reads the emote description. As seen in the promotional video above, the emote allows your Guardian to kick back and unwind in a virtual rendition of Geralt's iconic barrel bathtub.
The Witcher crossover event features Witcher-themed armor for every class, a Witcher-themed vehicle, ship, and Ghost shell, as well as the Flood of Anger finisher, all available for purchase with Destiny 2's premium currency.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of both Destiny 2 and The Witcher 3, I am thrilled to see this crossover event come to life. The addition of Geralt's bathtub meme is a hilarious and unexpected touch that is sure to bring a smile to the faces of fans of both franchises. I can't wait to jump into Destiny 2 and recreate the iconic bathtub scene with my own Guardian.
While I appreciate the creativity and humor behind this crossover, I am a bit disappointed that the Barrel Bath emote is only available for purchase with Silver, Destiny 2's premium currency. This means that players who don't have any Silver in their account will have to spend real money to acquire the emote, which could be a turn-off for some. I understand that microtransactions are a necessary evil in free-to-play games, but I would have preferred if the emote was available to earn through gameplay or as a reward for completing a quest.
Overall, I think the Witcher crossover event is a fun and exciting addition to Destiny 2. The bathtub meme is a great way to pay homage to The Witcher 3, and I can't wait to see what other Witcher-themed content comes to the game in the future.
