Tech enthusiasts continue to explore potential screen adaptations of beloved franchises, and now, the Witcher series is in the spotlight. A captivating concept trailer for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt adaptation, crafted by the Sora AI YouTube channel, has emerged.
The trailer skillfully channels the aesthetic of 1980s cinema, leveraging the power of neural networks. Familiar faces from the Witcher universe, including Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss Merigold, Regis, Dijkstra, and Priscilla, make appearances. While some stylistic liberties have been taken with their appearances, they remain readily identifiable.
Recently, the developers of Witcher 3 hinted at the inclusion of a Triss Merigold wedding scene. Originally planned for Novigrad as part of the "Ashen Marriage" quest, the storyline depicts Triss's burgeoning romance with Castello and her eagerness to marry him. Geralt aids in the wedding preparations, tackling tasks such as monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.
Interestingly, Triss's reaction is directly influenced by the gift Geralt chooses. Less thoughtful presents receive a lukewarm response, whereas a memory rose—a nod to their shared history in Witcher 2—elicits a much stronger emotional reaction.
