Ever wondered what The Witcher 3 would look like as a movie and set in the 80s? Youtuber Yojimbo has created just that to feed into fans’ curiosity.
As you’ll already know, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen for PS5 made its grand arrival on December 14, 2022, much to the delight of hardcore Witcher fans – and also those new to the franchise. Fans also have season 3 of Netflix’s The Witcher to look forward to but according to Redanian Intelligence, it might not see the light of day until maybe July 2023.
However, if you still haven’t got your fill of all things The Witcher in the new update and can’t wait another six months for season 3, we have a little treat for you in the form of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt but set in the dark fantasy era of the 1980s.
Hmm, wind’s howling…
The Witcher 3 but make it 80s
Whether you were around for the amazing decade that was the 1980s or not, some of the best fantasy films drew their breath from the era of big hair and MTV. Willow, Legend, and Labyrinth were some of the most iconic movies that spanned the time period. Although some have aged better than others, the hazy visuals and cheesy one-liners are still something to be cherished.
Youtuber Yojimbo tapped into the radical period and decided to create their own 80s The Witcher dark fantasy. Showcasing the likes of Triss, Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri and Vesemir, the unique texture and feel of the visual effects bring a whole new dark 80s atmosphere to the characters we know and love. What makes it even more intriguing is that all of the images were generated using Midjourney AI, an artificial intelligence program that creates images from textual descriptions, similar to OpenAI’s DALL-E.
