I’m starting to feel as old as Geralt looks.
With news about the Netflix series and The Witcher 4 creating such a buzz, it’s safe to say that the series still has massive appeal, and fans can’t wait to see what CDPR is cooking up. However, if you’re planning to replay The Witcher 3 on its 10-year anniversary, Xbox has revealed a stunning new controller you can use.
The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition Controller
The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition Controller includes some special features that you won’t find in other special editions. It features The emblem of the School of the Wolf in the centre, surrounded by runes. The right handle totes the ‘III’ symbol from the game’s title, and the triggers are differently textured to represent Geralt’s steel and silver swords.
“Become a monster slayer with The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition controllers and celebrate the lasting legacy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — available while supplies last,” says the Xbox website. “Celebrate 10 years of killing monsters alongside the White Wolf and reconnect with the critically acclaimed dark fantasy story beloved by millions.
It’s already sold out, but the $79.99 controller might get a restock given how popular it is. The unfortunate part is that it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to play The Witcher 4, as the game is still very far away.
Speaking of The Witcher 4, it seems there are some fans who aren’t happy with the fact that Ciri will take over from Geralt as the protagonist. While this was always going to be the case, some fans just can’t digest it. Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt himself, spoke out against those calling the game ‘woke’.
“I celebrate Ciri, I celebrate her being the protagonist,” Cockle said. “So all you people who think it’s woke… if you read the books, then you understand why CD Projekt went down this avenue.”
