This glorious fan creation has us more excited than ever for The Witcher 1 remake.

Last year CD Projekt Red delighted Witcher fans with the news that a fully-fledged remake of The Witcher, the first entry in the RPG series, is on the way.

Interestingly, they also took inspiration from other games, even those outside the Witcher series, including Breath of the Wild.

"It was fun to gather visual references from all across The Witcher franchise and more, mixing and matching different aspects
