A fan of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt paid tribute to the game by giving their PS5 an eye-catching, custom cover featuring different references. The artist then posted pictures of their handiwork on social media and received compliments from fans of The Witcher series for making the cover blend with the design of the PS5 itself.
The reveal of this amazing PS5 cover took place nearly a year after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt received its Next-Gen Update, which gave the game a new look thanks to updated textures and support for raytracing and upscaling technology such as Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR. On November 2023, CD Projekt Red confirmed that an official mod editor for The Witcher 3 is slated to release in 2024, which will add additional ways for players to engage with The Witcher series until the next entry is revealed. However, one player took it upon themselves to show their support for The Witcher in their style.
Geralt of Rivia Voice Actor Comments on His Future in the Witcher Franchise
The Geralt of Rivia voice actor comments on his future with CD Projekt Red and the highly-popular Witcher franchise.
Though fans have made custom controllers based on The Witcher 3 in the past, a Reddit user named Splitstrim took it to the next level. They posted four pictures of their custom-made PS5 console on the r/TheWitcher subreddit, with each picture showing the console at different angles. The OP added that each part of the cover was made using paint and resin, and was made to show off the PS5 in vertical mode. The front of the PS5 had Geralt’s distinct Wolf School medallion and the symbols for the five main Witcher signs, Axii, Quen, Yrden, Igni, and Aard, sorted from top to bottom. The OP clarified in the comments that the Wolf medallion’s chain was made long enough to not obstruct either of the USB ports on the PS5’s front side.
As for the covers, one side featured a giant Wolf School medallion, with the five Witcher signs placed around it in a way similar to the game’s main HUD. The other side had the main logo of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on it, in a large font. The bulk of the cover was painted black, with red bloodstain-like patterns splattered on the corners. For their effort, the OP received praise from other users. In some comments, the OP was asked if they took commissions and some users offered to pay for a similar design if desired.
Though CD Projekt Red has largely moved on from Cyberpunk 2077, the company remains focused on other projects such as future entries in The Witcher series. Until the series returns with a new game, fans such as Splitstrim will keep The Witcher in the spotlight with their creations.
