The Witcher franchise has gained a large following due to the success of The Witcher games, comics, books, and the Netflix series. A devoted fan decided to imagine what Geralt of Rivia would look like if the franchise had been developed by Telltale Games.
Based on a book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher games and TV series have achieved considerable success, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red, known for their exceptional work, has been hailed as the ideal developer for this property. The franchise has even had success with the Gwent card game, further showcasing CD Projekt Red's influence. Nonetheless, it is intriguing to ponder how another studio would have approached the series.
Reddit user devinn0 shared an AI-generated image on the r/Witcher 3 subreddit, envisioning Geralt of Rivia in a Telltale Game style. This image showcases Geralt's recognizable traits such as scars, detailed armor, and a facial structure that closely resembles the character. However, one small detail is missing - his wolf medallion. The cel-shaded art style employed in this image captures the essence of Geralt, much like the Fortnite rendition of The White Wolf. Interestingly, commenters expressed their enthusiasm for the idea of a Witcher game series developed by Telltale.
Geralt is depicted in the style of Telltale Games, capturing his essence even though the artwork is created by AI. The Witcher franchise shares similarities with Telltale's work, as player decisions greatly influence the plots of CD Projekt Red's games. Fans are intrigued by the idea of adding a Telltale title to Geralt's gaming legacy.
As Telltale Games makes a comeback in recent years, they have a golden opportunity to explore a Witcher series, which fans wholeheartedly support. A Telltale Witcher game would particularly resonate with fans who deeply appreciate the storytelling aspect, although it may not provide the same appeal to combat system enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the captivating tale of The Witcher games has garnered immense love from fans, thus the potential for a Telltale Witcher game knows no bounds.
