The Witcher 3 adaptation in the vein of fantasy movies from the 1980s

Tech enthusiasts continue to explore the potential of screen adaptations using modern technology, and their latest focus is the Witcher series. Sora AI, a YouTube channel creator, has unveiled a concept trailer for a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt adaptation.

The trailer's aesthetic is heavily inspired by 1980s films, achieved through the innovative use of neural networks. The video features numerous recognizable characters from the Witcher universe, including Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Triss Merigold, Regis, Dijkstra, Priscilla, and others. While some minor visual alterations exist, the characters remain easily identifiable.

Recently, the developers of The Witcher 3 hinted at plans to incorporate Triss's wedding into the game. Originally envisioned for Novigrad, the "Ashen Marriage" quest would have depicted Triss's burgeoning feelings for Castello and her desire for a swift marriage. Geralt's role would involve assisting with wedding preparations, including ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift.

Interestingly, Triss's reaction is directly influenced by the gift's choice. Less extravagant gifts receive a lukewarm response, while a memory rose—a familiar item from The Witcher 2—evokes a strong emotional reaction from her.
