In yesterday’s stream, CD Project Red presented the “Next Gen” version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in more detail. Above all, the developers showed us Quality of Life improvements, which we have already summarized for you elsewhere:

In between, we also got to see the new armor as part of the new DLC, which we would like to briefly introduce to you here. There is a very special piece of jewelry that caused a stir in the Netflix series with Henry Cavill as Geralt (from Season 4 with Liam Hemsworth).

Nilfgaard armor

Of the three new armaments just mentioned and one that takes the most getting used to is clearly that of the Nilfgaardian army. Even though her looks have improved in the Netflix series with season 2, her special wrinkled look evokes funny associations and is therefore difficult to forget – we don’t want to go into any more detail at this point, use this information and your imagination to whatever you want… However, that’s exactly what makes the meme-like armor kind of iconic, and now it’s making it into the game. Here you can see the comparison:
