The Witcher Fans Imagine What Geralt Will Look Like In First Game's Remake
The original Witcher is getting a remake, but it's so far out that it'll be a long time before we get a glimpse at what improvements CD Projekt Red is making.

Looking outside of The Witcher, others liken this rendition of Geralt to Val Kilmer, Pierce Brosnan, Adam Driver, and Zachary Quinto. I can see Val Kilmer and maybe Adam Driver, but Shazam? You're on your own there. Regardless, it's a neat insight into a game that is a long way off, launching after The Witcher 4. It'll be a long time before we see
