If The Witcher goes for seven seasons, Henry Cavill will be there

What about seven seasons of Roach?

Henry Cavill is down to reprise his role as Geralt of Rivia in the Witcher for seven seasons, The Hollywood Reporter  reported Wednesday.

Before The Witcher  even premiered, showrunner Lauren Hissrich  claimed she’d written seven seasons’ worth of stories. That means a whole lot more Geralt, naturally! Thankfully Cavill is up to the task of donning a particular silver wig when and if the time comes.

“Absolutely,” Cavill said via The Hollywood Reporter. “As long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work.”

The Witcher Season 2 is coming on Dec. 17 and you can check out a trailer for it below.

Cavill is a huge fan of The Witcher video games by CD Project  as well. In fact, that adoration is what made him so eager to go after the part of Geralt in Netflix’s adaptation.

“I pursued, pursued, pursued,” Cavill said via The Hollywood Reporter. “A couple months after they had gone through their casting process, my agent called and said, ‘They’ve asked you do an audition — you don’t have to do this.’ I’m like, ‘I’ll do it.’ They said, ‘Really? Are you sure?’ I said, ‘Of course. It’s The Witcher.'”

That last comment is pure gold.

‘The Witcher’ Season 2 trailer shows off epic battles ahead of December 17 premiere

More monsters, sword fights, and Yennefer.

The Witcher  Season 2 is coming out on Dec. 17, and a new trailer is giving us a sneak-peak at what to expect from it.

It’s been nearly two years since the first season of The Witcher came out, and Netflix has spared no expense on Season 2 if this trailer is any indication. Everything from the locations to CGI work on monsters is much more lavishly detailed than Season 1. It makes sense. A common criticism of The Witcher back when it first came out was that it looked relatively low-budget compared to the likes of Game Of Thrones. No longer, though. 

Also, objectively best character Yennefer of Vengerberg is back. Sorry, it’s just basic facts. 2 + 2 = 4, Yennefer = best character in The Witcher. Can’t argue with science, I’m afraid.

Check out the new Season 2 trailer of The Witcher for yourself below. If you’re worried about spoilers, this trailer doesn’t seem to give away the plot at all, thankfully.

Have to say, the costume work this season looks much better, too. Though the teasing from Netflix seems to have confirmed that already. The series is well on its way to rivaling the games and novels in terms of hype as well. So what better way to wait for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S than to watch the Netflix show?

We asked an AI to ponder video games’ biggest ethical dilemmas

People on Twitter have been talking to Delphi, an artificial intelligence that aims to answer your ethical questions. We wanted to take it for a spin and see how it feels about the scourge of video games. 

People on Twitter have been talking to Delphi, an artificial intelligence that aims to answer your ethical questions. It measures morality based on the words used and then tells you whether or not the thing you’re pondering is morally correct or not. We wanted to take it for a spin and see how it feels about the scourge of video games.

“Delphi is a computational model for descriptive ethics, i.e., people’s moral judgments on a variety of everyday situations,” the Delphi website explains. You can click the link to ask it some questions of your own, just in case you’ve been wondering whether or not it’s OK to microwave fish in the office (it never is). We’re going to just jump right into it. 

A new poster for ‘The Witcher’ Season 2 shows off Geralt of Rivia ahead of December 17 debut

Everyone’s favorite monster-slayer is back.

Season 2 of The Witcher is due out in two months, and Netflix is already teasing what’s to come. On Wednesday, the official Twitter account released a poster of Henry Cavill in-character as Geralt in the second season.

“Created to kill. Destined to protect,” Netflix  said. “The Witcher Season 2 debuts December 17 on Netflix.”

That’s not a whole heck of a lot to go on, but at least Cavill looks sharp as ever. Curiously Geralt is only wielding a single sword instead of his trademark silver and steel blade combination. 

Check out The Witcher  Season 2 poster for yourself below. 

It’s been almost two years since the first season of The Witcher  premiered on Netflix, so fans are thirsty for any tease at this point. A trailer for the second season came out recently too, and it looks like a step-up from the first in terms of production quality and special effects. Check it out for yourself below. 

Let’s hope it surpasses the first season’s storytelling as well.

‘Cyberpunk 2077’ and ‘The Witcher 3’ next-gen upgrades might not arrive this year

At least they’re backwards compatible?

Anyone eagerly anticipating the next-gen upgrades for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 might be in for a long wait, as developer CD Projekt Red said it couldn’t promise either will come out in 2021.

Since Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch last year, CD Projekt Red has spent the lion’s share of 2021 patching the game. Not always to great results, though. During CD Projekt Red’s most recent shareholders call, SVP of business development Michał Nowakowski stated that the company wants to learn from past mistakes. 

“The target is to release the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 late this year,” Nowakowski said via VGC. “At the same time, keeping in mind the lessons we have learned during the past year and taking into account that this project still remains in development, we can’t say with full certainty that the production schedule will not change.”

Nowakowski continued: “With The Witcher 3, the situation is slightly different in the way that this is being tackled by the external team mainly, which is Saber Interactive, the company that we have worked with before on Switch and also with updates in the past.”

While it’s easy to understand why some fans might be disappointed by this news, avoiding another catastrophe should be CD Projekt Red’s priority right now.
