With the success of The Witcher games made by CD Projekt Red, the comics and books, and the Netflix series, the franchise has gained many fans over the years. One fan of The Witcher franchise had an AI generate what Geralt of Rivia if the series had made its way to the Telltale Games library.
The Witcher games and TV series are based on a book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The games in The Witcher franchise have garnered a lot of success over the years, especially The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, with CD Projekt Red seen as the perfect developer for the property. The franchise has even found some success with the card game Gwent outside of the main Witcher 3 game, showing CD Projekt Red's impact on the property. However, it is still interesting to think about what another studio would have done with the series.
Reddit user devinn0 posted an image to the r/Witcher 3 subreddit that shows what Geralt of Rivia would look like if there were a Witcher Telltale Game. The image is AI generated in the art style of a typical Telltale game, and it includes scars, armor details, and other touches so that fans can easily recognize the character as Geralt. However, one minor detail it's missing: his wolf medallion.
The image utilizes the cel-shaded art style Telltale Games is known for, and it seems to embody the characteristics of Geralt just like the Fortnite version of The White Wolf. He has scars, is wearing armor similar to what is worn in the games, and boasts a facial structure that is similar enough for fans to recognize the character. In the comments, players voiced some interest in Telltale making a Witcher game series.
Geralt in the Telltale Games style is portrayed well here, even if the art is made by AI. The existing Witcher franchise holds some similarities to Telltale's work, as the decisions of players have a big impact on the plots of CD Projekt Red's games. Fans seem to agree that adding a Telltale title to the list of games that Geralt has been a part of would be an interesting idea.
With the recent rebirth of Telltale Games in the last few years, there could be a perfect opportunity for the company to try its hand at a Witcher series, and the fans seem to be all for it. A Telltale Witcher game could end up appealing more to fans that love the story aspect of the Witcher games, though it could alienate those that are fans of the combat system. That being said, the story of The Witcher games has been an aspect of the franchise beloved by many, so the sky is the limit for a Telltale Witcher game.
