Epic '80s Fantasy Movie-Style Adaptation of The Witcher 3

Tech enthusiasts continue to explore potential screen adaptations of beloved franchises, with their sights now set on the Witcher series. A captivating concept trailer for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt adaptation, crafted by the Sora AI YouTube channel, has recently surfaced.

The trailer masterfully emulates the aesthetic of 1980s cinema, leveraging the power of neural networks. It features numerous recognizable characters from the Witcher universe, including Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss Merigold, Regis, Dijkstra, and Priscilla, among others. While some minor stylistic alterations are present, the characters remain easily identifiable.

Recently, the developers of The Witcher 3 hinted at previously cut content: Triss's wedding. The Ashen Marriage quest, initially planned for Novigrad, would have seen Triss pursuing a relationship with Castello and planning a hasty marriage. Geralt would have aided in the preparations, tasks including monster extermination, acquiring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.

Interestingly, Triss's reaction is directly tied to the gift chosen. Less thoughtful gifts receive a lukewarm response, while a memory rose – a familiar item from The Witcher 2 – elicits a much stronger emotional reaction.
