Of the myriad Monster Hunter World mods that have made the rounds online over the last several years, this seems to count as one that players will want to check out. Naturally, the downside is that the character swaps won't allow players to fully assume the roles of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt heroines. So Triss' incredible fire magic and Yen's supreme sorceress abilities cannot be used to mow down beasties in MHW . Perhaps future mods will make such wonders possible, tho

Another place that Geralt would feel right at home in is the Nioh series. The Nioh games see players fighting through hordes of spirits in Souls-like combat through a variety of dodges and weapons. Geralt would be a great addition to Nioh as his nimble fighting style would mix well with the series' heavy emphasis on dodging and parrying enemy attacks. Geralt would also fit right into the game's dark universe while also bringing some levity through his dry commentary on the strange world. Geralt likely wouldn't fit into Nioh 's historic setting, but with how impressively successful Nioh 2 was , a crossover could be in the cards for Nioh and The Witcher series' futu

Those 3DS entries Monster Hunter 4 and 4 Ultimate introduced seasoned hunters to a pair of new weapons: the Insect Glaive and Charge Blade. This brought the weapon count in mainline entries up to 14 (not counting tools like the Frontier -exclusive Magnet Spike), and it seems Capcom is happy with the balance considering no new weapons were added in World or Rise . However, there is still room for new weapons to help diversify the series, and one seemingly obvious exclusion has a perfect template in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - the sp

Between hunting and trapping, players can join a friend for split-screen co-op, or up to three others online through Nintendo's servers as they confront some of the most creative and crafty monsters yet. It's far from the most accessible entry in the series, but it remains an innovative entry in the iconic ser

If only the most visually stunning games with elaborate storytelling and rich lore can hold a candle to the void left in the absence of new Witcher content, then Horizon Zero Dawn will fill that void ten times over. Dominating the screen as the fiery heroine, Aloy will certainly scratch the itch for players who especially enjoy Ciri's story and playing a strong female r

One could argue the Insect Glaive is reminiscent of a spear, but in execution it acts more like a staff with a few distinct features. The titular "insect" associated with the weapon is called a Kinsect, which is a pseudo-partner during a hunt that players can send out to hit a monster, drain its energy, and use that to apply buffs. It is also a weapon based around verticality, matching its introduction in the more dynamic maps from Monster Hunter 4 , and allows hunters to vault into the air and attack from ab

Monster Hunter World 's crossover event allowed players to hunt a Leshen from The Witcher, while also allowing players to craft a set of armor that looks like Geralt's gear from The Witcher 3 . The crossover makes a lot of sense, especially since it sees Geralt continuing to hunt monsters. However, one of Geralt's most recent crossovers was also the weirdest. It was with the Switch's Daemon X Machina , and saw both Geralt and Ciri appearing in the g

Updated March 17, 2025, Monsterwildlands.Com by Blaise Santi : Monster Hunter Wilds has been out for nearly a month, giving players both old and new to dive into the grind of hunting monsters and crafting gear online with their friends. It's about time we look at how the new game stacks up against the previous entries in the franchise, as many of its quality-of-life changes and innovations may attract new fans as much as they could be alienating to longtime devotees of Monster Hunter. Whether you first heard of Monster Hunter when Monster Hunter World took the gaming world by storm in 2018, or you've been around since the early days on PlayStation, here's everything you need to know about the series' ranking from worst to b

The series' success has allowed it to branch off into a variety of new properties and products from its original novelization, including a mobile game, multiple board games, live-action series on Netflix, a digital card game, an animated series, and even its own convention dubbed WitcherCon . This has also led to the series being referenced in a variety of other video games, and Geralt of Rivia crossing over into some titles, although there are still many games he would be perfect to make an appearance

If you haven't yet, now might also be the time to go back and play The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassination of Kings. CD Projekt Red's first installment of The Witcher trilogy picks up right after the closing events in Andrzej Sapkowski's original nov

Geralt of Rivia's first big crossover came in his appearance in Soulcalibur 6 as a playable character. With the Soulcalibur series' focus on melee-weapon combat, Geralt of Rivia made perfect sense as a fighter. He was able to wield his sword with the usual grace and spins that fans expected, as well as putting some of his iconic Witcher signs to use. Another major game for Geralt was Monster Hunter World 's Witcher crossover eve
