One of the hidden additions that came as part of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update has been discovered, and Henry Cavill fans will no doubt appreciate it. Since the long-awaited patch arrived for The Witcher 3, players scouring the Continent in search of alterations, new content, and Easter eggs have not been disappointed.Players have been ostensibly pleased with the next-gen update, albeit for the performance issues that have affected those on PC. CD Projekt Red had promised to bring higher resolutions and frame rates to consoles but also detailed a host of other features in development during a livestream shortly before release. These included a new camera angle similar to the one implemented in God of War Ragnarok, an alternative method of casting Signs, content inspired by the Netflix series, and more.YouTuber xLetalis dedicated to discovering rare and hidden interactions across The Witcher 3, so unsurprisingly the update has proved to be a goldmine for him. In an image posted to Twitter, Geralt can be seen with a dog named Kal at his feet who allegedly settles in Devil's Pit "several days after you get one of the "good" endings in the new quest." This is seemingly more than just a mere coincidence, as the name Kal has a special connection to The Witcher franchise.
Henry Cavill, up until recently the actor for Geralt in the Netflix adaptation, owns a dog by the same name, and the real Kal bears a striking resemblance to the one now featured in the game. To assuage any doubt, xLetalis thanked the Lead Quest Designer at CD Projekt Red for "confirming the reference." It is likely to bring a smile to Cavill's face, as the actor has been publicly vocal about his love for not only gaming but The Witcher itself.
Devil's Pit is the once curiously unused location in The Witcher 3, which now boasts a never-seen-before quest. Players were confused as to why an area that seemingly had much time dedicated to crafting it was absent of anything to do, with hackers and data miners surmising that it was likely the victim of cut content. Sensing an opportunity to rectify this, CD Projekt Red gave the Devil's Pit purpose again alongside a few weapons and armor sets to find.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available now for PC, PS4, PS5 Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
