Unleashing The Beast: Epic Wolverine Makeover Rocks The Witcher Fan World
Witcher fan adds a vibrant twist to Geralt of Rivia's iconic armor, infusing it with a striking yellow and blue color scheme that pays homage to Wolverine's legendary style
Geralt of Rivia, a beloved character from The Witcher series, received a unique yellow and blue outfit inspired by Marvel Comics' Wolverine from a passionate Witcher fan. Since his introduction in the 2007 game, Geralt has captivated gamers and his popularity has only grown in recent years, thanks to Henry Cavill's portrayal in the Netflix series. Similar to the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, Geralt, a mutated Witcher, takes on the dangerous task of hunting and slaying monstrous creatures for wealthy clients.
The immense success of CD Projekt Red's Witcher trilogy, especially The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, has led to an abundance of memes and fan art featuring Geralt. Some players have imagined Geralt with a different hairstyle or transformed him into a cyberpunk version, inspired by CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077. There have also been fan-created crossovers blending Geralt with iconic comic book characters like DC Comics' Joker. However, those who have experienced Geralt's challenging journey may find a different crossover to be a more suitable match.
Reddit user SnapTone has shared a modified image of Geralt from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on r/witcher. The image shows Geralt wearing a yellow, brown, and blue armor reminiscent of Wolverine's classic X-Men outfit. SnapTone explains that they were inspired by leaked set photos from Deadpool 3, which revealed Hugh Jackman's accurate comic costume. Other Reddit users have agreed that the comparison is fitting.
Similar to Geralt, Wolverine has appeared in numerous video games over the years. His most recent appearance was as a playable character in Marvel's Midnight Suns, released last year. Logan is set to make another virtual appearance in Marvel's Wolverine, an upcoming game by Insomniac. Currently, only limited information about Marvel's Wolverine is available, but the game's creative director promises a darker and more mature tone compared to Insomniac's previous Marvel games.
Wolverine and Geralt from the Witcher series share more than just dark and gritty gaming adventures. These two characters are characterized by their solemn disposition, tragic pasts, and extraordinary mutant powers that make them outcasts in their respective universes.
You can find The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
