Witcher 3 Fantasy Epic Revives 80s Movie Magic

Tech enthusiasts continue to explore the potential of screen adaptations using modern technology, and their sights are now set on the Witcher series. Sora AI, a YouTube channel creator, recently unveiled a concept trailer for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt adaptation.

The trailer is styled to evoke the aesthetic of 1980s films, leveraging the power of neural networks. The video features numerous recognizable characters from the Witcher universe, including Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss Merigold, Regis, Dijkstra, Priscilla, and others. While there are subtle alterations in their appearances, the characters remain easily identifiable.

Recently, the developers of The Witcher 3 hinted at plans to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. The "Ashen Marriage" quest was originally intended to take place in Novigrad. The storyline depicts Triss developing feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage. Geralt assists with wedding preparations, tasks including ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.

Interestingly, Triss's reaction is directly influenced by the chosen gift. Less elaborate gifts are poorly received, while a memory rose – a familiar item from The Witcher 2 – elicits a strong emotional response from her.
