Future 2’s Season of the Want has arrived. Along with a brand new patch, battle go, and story content material about discovering dragon eggs to earn a want, the replace has additionally introduced Witcher 3 armor and Easter eggs into Bungie’s loot shooter, together with an emote for Geralt’s well-known tub scene.
“Soggy armor is a small value to pay for true rest,” reads the flavour textual content for “Barrel Bathtub.” The brand new emote will let Guardians put their ft up and loosen up in a barrel of translucent blue mild after a protracted day of focusing Engrams. It doesn’t come low-cost, although. Barrel Bathtub prices 1,200 Silver, an annoying quantity which is simply 100 greater than what you get for spending $10 on Future 2’s premium foreign money. That signifies that you technically need to spend $15 to get the emote, and could have 400 Silver left over.
For many who aren’t acquainted with The Witcher 3 or Geralt of Rivia’s post-monster-slaying hygiene routine, CD Projekt Purple’s beloved open-world fantasy RPG begins with a flashback to the titular Witcher soaking it up in his Kaer Morhen bedchambers. The very first thing gamers hear is the splashing of water and the very first thing they see are the soles of his ft dangling over the sting. The sorcerer Yennifer flirts with him by summoning a lobster that climbs in with him, forcing Geralt to get out buck bare and towel off. The Witcher manspreading within the tub immediately grew to become a meme, CDPR made a statue of it, and the Netflix adaptation even paid homage by having Henry Cavill recreate the second.
The Witcher 3 crossover with Future additionally consists of armor units for the Titan, Warlock, and Hunter courses that make every appear like a distinct monster-hunting faculty of Witcher, full with silver swords, chain-link mail, and leather-based straps. Finishers present Guardians utilizing Geralt’s Signal magic, and a brand new Sparrow mount seems like a correct Witcher saddlebag became a futuristic speeder.
“Witchers are identified for his or her proficiency in searching and killing monsters,” Przemysław Juszczyk, CDPR’s head of franchise artwork, informed the PlayStation Weblog. “Each armor has to scream that it’s able to take care of that sort of encounter. We additionally included iconic Witcher components: trying nearer, you may spot the wolf medallion, two swords, Glagolitic script inscriptions. All this acquired the Future spin from gifted Bungie artists. Even when the whole lot is occurring in a cosmic actuality, I consider the spirit of The Witcher is current in each merchandise launched in our collaboration.”
I feel they nailed it.
