Future 2’s Season of the Want has arrived. Along with a brand new patch, battle move, 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 bathtub scene.
“Soggy armor is a small value to pay for true rest,” reads the flavour textual content for “Barrel Tub.” The brand new emote will let Guardians put their toes up and calm down in a barrel of translucent blue gentle after a protracted day of focusing Engrams. It doesn’t come low-cost, although. Barrel Tub prices 1,200 Silver, an annoying quantity which is simply 100 greater than what you get for spending $10 on Future 2’s premium forex. That implies that you technically should spend $15 to get the emote, and may have 400 Silver left over.
For individuals 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 toes 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 turned 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 contains armor units for the Titan, Warlock, and Hunter courses that make every seem like a special monster-hunting college 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 to be like a correct Witcher saddlebag was a futuristic speeder.
“Witchers are identified for his or her proficiency in looking and killing monsters,” Przemysław Juszczyk, CDPR’s head of franchise artwork, instructed the PlayStation Weblog. “Each armor has to scream that it’s able to cope with that sort of encounter. We additionally included iconic Witcher components: wanting nearer, you possibly can spot the wolf medallion, two swords, Glagolitic script inscriptions. All this acquired the Future spin from proficient Bungie artists. Even when the whole lot is going on in a cosmic actuality, I imagine the spirit of The Witcher is current in each merchandise launched in our collaboration.”
I feel they nailed it.
