Massively multiplayer fashion-brawler Misplaced Ark started a Witcher crossover on its Korean servers in November, however solely now has Amazon Video games confirmed (opens in new tab) when Geralt and friends will likely be arriving on western servers: January, 2023.
Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, and Dandelion will all be coming to Misplaced Ark, with “voiceover work from the sport’s unique actors” in keeping with a press launch from Amazon Video games. It additionally explains their arrival will likely be a part of an occasion that is solely accessible for a restricted time, which may also add an island known as White Wolf’s Haven.
The island is seemingly “a setting for merriment and festivals till a mysterious vortex abruptly seems, pausing the celebrations. As gamers examine the supply of the unexplained phenomenon, they encounter a customer from a distinct time and place – Geralt of Rivia, the famed Witcher. This begins a series of occasions through which the participant will face the thriller of this interdimensional vortex, assembly much more guests from one other dimension alongside the best way. On this collision between worlds, gamers of Misplaced Ark will workforce up with characters from The Witcher to resolve a puzzle that spans time and house.”
In addition to the quests that gamers will get to participate in alongside PC Gamer’s favourite gravelly videogame father determine, the occasion will after all add some further style choices to Misplaced Ark. “New Witcher themed cosmetics will likely be accessible within the retailer, and new character customization scars, Playing cards, Stronghold buildings, Emojis (and extra) await adventurers who take part within the occasion”, Amazon says.
Whereas the variations of the characters who will seem as NPCs in Misplaced Ark look just about like they do in The Witcher 3, the wearable Geralt and Ciri skins for PCs to purchase are just a little disconcerting. As you may see in one of many Korean trailers (opens in new tab), whereas there are slight variations between the variations for every class, all of the Geralts look fairly younger, clean-shaven, and good-looking in an anime prettyboy sort of manner. In the meantime, the Ciri skins for nonhuman lessons have pointed elvish ears for the mage or are tiny and childlike for the artist (a category presently solely accessible within the Korean model who makes use of a magic paintbrush to work ink-based magic, and is principally a hobbit).
I’ll in all probability find yourself shopping for among the weapon skins and the Kaer Morhen background artwork (opens in new tab) for the character display, however I do not count on an excessive amount of from the story in a promotional occasion. In the meantime, Misplaced Ark’s additionally getting the summoner class and endgame Brelshaza legion raid (opens in new tab) as a part of a December replace together with the Caliligos guardian raid, T3 hardmode dice and boss rush, a brand new accent sort for bracelets, and new chaos dungeons.
The Witcher has beforehand crossed over with over videogames, together with Monster Hunter World, Soulcalibur 6, and cellular recreation AFK Area. Geralt’s additionally been noticed in a leaked trailer for Fortnite Chapter 4 (opens in new tab). He certain does get round.
