In Monster Hunter World, the crossover event with the RPG series The Witcher has started. And fans of Witcher Geralt are surprised.
What does the event offer? Since February 7, 2019, Witcher Geralt from the Witcher games appears in Monster Hunter World. Together with him, you will hunt monsters and even get a new armor set.
What is surprising about the event? Capcom was quite secretive about the content beforehand. However, what has been launched with the event offers a bit more than what the players had expected.
- You can also play as Geralt
- Surprisingly, his adopted daughter Ciri is also involved
- A new monster, the Leshen, has been introduced, which appeared in the Witcher series
- Even the nasty Nekkers from the Witcher world are included, albeit in a slightly different and surprising way
- The original voice actor of Geralt is involved
- Besides Geralt’s armor, you will later receive Ciri’s armor
- The event will be expanded with new quests
Almost a new Witcher episode
That’s why the event feels like a Witcher game: The new quests even form a small story around Ciri and Geralt, who travel to other worlds due to the magical abilities of the white-haired young warrior. But the world of Monster Hunter is new and dangerous. But Geralt is used to that. And he also knows his way around monsters.
How players react: Witcher fans are excited to experience an adventure with their hero again, which even resembles something like a quest from the game The Witcher 3. It feels like a little gift to see Geralt in action once more.
Players of Monster Hunter World are also surprised at how well the Witcher fits into the scenario. Players who have not yet known The Witcher might now want to take a look at the series because they enjoy what the event offers so much.
How long does the event run? The Witcher event will run until February 21 and will be expanded with new quests and items during this time.
Currently, the event is only available for the console versions of the game.
