Together with Capcom, we’re presenting the crossover everyone’s been waiting for: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Monster Hunter: World!

The collaboration sees Monster Hunter: World players take on the mantle of Geralt of Rivia, and has them take on a series of Witcher-inspired quests. These offer a unique gameplay experience blending RPG mechanics of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter: World’s game systems.

Reprising his role as the witcher is Doug Cockle — the English voice of Geralt of Rivia.

The Witcher-inspired content is coming to Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in early 2019 as a free update, with the PC release to follow soon.

Witcher Fact #11

Below you can see some Zerrikanias and Dol Blathanna Elves concept arts for The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings. In the end they didn’t make the final cut, but the elves legacy lives on — these concepts heavily influenced Triss’ alternative outfit from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Witcher Fact #10

If you complete pig-chasing contest during Dead Man’s Party quest in Hearts of Stone, your reward is a pig plushie for Shani. She clearly loves it and we can later see it laying in her bed indicating that she might be sleeping with it... It’s also among the first things she packs when moving.

Witcher Fact #9

For The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we were testing a gameplay feature called Focus Mode. The goal of this mechanic was that Geralt would be able to use one of his abilities to see insides of any monster, target them and and then cut with great precision. Unfortunately, it was the feature itself that did not make the cut…

Witcher Fact #8

The amount of soup in the pot when dining with the Spoon Collector in Blood and Wine reflects the amount of soup actually eaten during this scene. The level of soup is thus dependant on player’s dialogue picks — true definition of choices and consequences!

Witcher Fact #7

Hearts of Stone introduces two vanity items for Geralt. One of them is The Professor’s spectacles bought at Borsodi’s auction house during the Open Sesame! quest. The other — Ass ears — can be received if Geralt loses the game of Gwent with halflings at the wedding reception during Dead Man’s Party. Very late in production we realized that Geralt should be able to wear both of these items simultaneously. This is why, after you finish both quests, you can go to the circus troupe camp to find a crafting recipe for Concealment kit, combine the spectacles and ears into one item and let Geralt conceal his true identity.

Witcher Fact #6

Philippa Eilhart’s gaze is truly hypnotizing. Before she covered her eyes with a scarf in The Witcher 3, the woman known as “Jewel in the Court at Tretogor” would attempt to bring back her sight with the use of none other than jewels. Thus, her eye sockets would carry gems as seen on some of these early artworks.

Witcher Fact #5

Designing a botchling for The Witcher 3 was quite a challenge for our concept artists. In the end they nailed it, but check out some of the other ideas for its look!
