A Redditor by the name of Hands0m3_Jack24 has not only shared their love ofThe Witcherseries, but has recreated two Steel and Silver swords, Geralt’s weapons of choice. The swords are crafted from wood and not only have been painted to look like they’ve been crafted metal, but they also feature intricate runes running down the blade and stylized hilts which have been meticulously recreated.
The swords have been measured out to be around 115 cm from end to end, and because of the materials used, they are sadly not destined to be used in battle. Instead, they will take pride of place on Hands0m3_Jack24’s wall. Somewhat understandably, the creator has seen their fair share of praise heaped on for the incredible replicas, with many users highlighting the professional craftmanship shown in recreating both Steel and Silver.
Elsewhere, other players are utilizing other techniques to get theirWitcherfix. TheElden Ringcharacter creator has led to its fair share of recognizable icons from big franchises including Star Wars and Marvel, but one player has taken it to the next level byinserting Geralt intoElden Ringto take on the toughest bosses.
While players are still finding ways to celebrateThe Witcher, CD Projekt is still trying to recover from the disastrous launch ofCyberpunk 2077. Though the game has largely been fixed,shares in CD Projekt Red have seen a 75% declinesince December 2020. All eyes will be onThe Witcher 4to not only deliver a sequel worthy of the franchise, but to turn the company’s fortunes around quickly.
