You hear that everyone? Superman himself is behind the idea of him starring in a Mass Effect series. That’s all you need to hear. Now get it into production right away.

In all seriousness, if Henry Cavill is genuinely interested in playing a main role in the rumoured series, then why not? His name has been associated with the project ever since he teased it earlier this year. We already know how much he enjoys gaming, so it should come as no surprise he wants to star in yet another brilliant gaming franchise. His Witcher series has been a monumental success, and we cannot wait for season 2!

Speaking to GameRadar, Cavill stated this in regards to joining the project: “Very much so, yeah, all depending on how they’re executing it. The world of adaptation can be heavy or light. When I like a product, I prefer the adaptation to be less changed from the source, so it all depends.”

Referring to the reported Amazon deal, Cavill added: “”I think it’s found a home, hasn’t it? If [it] finds a home, I would love to have a conversation.”

As many other fans, Cavill main love for the franchise is the original Mass Effect trilogy.

“I did not play Andromeda – I had a go at it, but ended up being very busy. But [the original trilogy]? Yeah. Loved it. Brilliant games. It would make such a magnificent series of movies or TV shows.”

Deadline reported last month that Amazon Studios, which is responsible for creating original content for Amazon Prime Video, was “nearing a deal” to develop a series based on EA’s best-selling sci-fi franchise.

However, not everyone is excited for the potential of a series based on the beloved series. Former lead writer on another Bioware game, David Gaider, had this to say on the matter.

“I’m relieved to see that the Mass Effect / Amazon deal is for a potential TV series and not a movie,” Gaider said. “Even so, the possibility (and likewise for Dragon Age) makes me cringe just a little, unlike many fans who appear… excited?

“For starters, Mass Effect and Dragon Age have a custom protagonist, meaning said TV show will need to pick whether said protagonist will be male or female. Boom, right off the bat you’ve just alienated a whole bunch of the built-in fan base who had their hopes up”.

Geralt’s actor shows dedication to his role and wants to stay committed to the fantasy TV series.

Netflix found success in 2019 when the live-action adaptation of The Witcher was adored by fans far and wide. From readers to gamers to newcomers alike, The Witcher TV series has gained a huge fanbase and they’re all sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for season 2 (me included).

Now Henry Carvill, the actor for Geralt, has given hope he will get to stick around for a third season… and fourth, and fifth, and sixth.

Henry Carvill on The Witcher

The Witcher showrunner Lauren Hissrich said before the show had officially aired on Netflix that she had a seven-season plan for the show laid out in her head. The first season obviously was loved by all and with only a month away from the second season being released, Henry Carvill spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how he feels with the potential to do seven seasons.

Carvill only had one reaction: “Absolutely. As long as we can keep telling great stories that honour [Witcher author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work.”

The Witcher book series consists of six fantasy novels and 15 short stories written by the Polish author, so there is no worry the show will run out of content any time soon. There’s also The Witcher games that are the direct sequels to the books, so one assumes Lauren Hissrich might bring certain storylines over from those to include in the tv series.

Here is a list of The Witcher short stories that relate to the episodes in the first season:

1. The Lesser Evil

2. Edge of the World

3. The Witcher

4. A Question of Price

5. The Last Wish

6. Bounds of Reason

7. The Sword of Destiny

8. Something More/ Battle of Sodden

I for one cannot wait to see how season 2 goes and Hissrich gets to produce her seven-season plan.

The Witcher Season 2 debuts on Netflix on December 17 and it is believed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be receiving a next-gen upgrade sometime soon.

The Witcher franchise could have turned out very differently…

Speaking to The Gamer in a recent interview, former lead narrative designer Artur Ganszyniec, who worked on the original The Witcher game back in the mid-2000s, has informed us of some interesting details regarding the development of the game, which influenced its success up to now.

Artur explained how the original Witcher title was meant to be twice as long, with a host of additional locations and characters, including a new protagonist named Berengar. Still, this ambition was limited by the size of their budget. However, he explains how this actually, in turn, added to the richness of the storytelling.

“We had to cut them due to budget constraints,” Ganszyniec explains, adding that it was the best thing that could happen, as they “had to find a way to tell the story using a smaller cast of characters.” This would ultimately make The Witcher more “concise and emotional,” says the former lead narrative designer, adding that however stressful things might have been at the time, it all worked out for the best.

The player’s deep connection and understanding with the main characters are definitely part of what makes The Witcher franchise unique and a truly immersive experience.

It’s an interesting anecdote from a former developer on the original Witcher game, and we’d highly recommend reading the full interview for an extensive deep dive into the creation of a series that would eventually aspire to ‘modern classic’ status for CD Projekt Red in The Witcher 3 eight years later.

You can play The Witcher right now on PC if you’ve yet to experience the origins of CD Projekt Red’s series. As for The Witcher 3, though, CD Projekt Red recently revealed that they would be delaying the new-gen upgrade of the 2015 RPG to some point in 2022. While Geralt’s new-gen overhaul with 4K visuals and 60 frames per second gameplay was initially meant to launch this year, we’ll be waiting a while longer to step back into the Witcher’s shoes on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

In other news, October has seen some big next-gen titles being released, including the likes of FIFA 22, Far Cry 6 and Left 4 Dead’s spiritual successor, Back 4 Blood. You can purchase all of these titles, as well as pre-ordering Call of Duty Vanguard and Battlefield 2042, from our Go2Games website.

New fan art depicts high-definition next-gen Geralt

Geralt of The Witcher is a formidable protagonist who has a dedicated fanbase across the literature, television and video game adaptations of The Witcher. The franchise of The Witcher and its main character will continue to have a place in popular culture; the Game of the Year Edition of The Witcher 3 is currently available to. With excitement lying in how far graphical capabilities can go, a talented artist by the name of Massimiliano Bianchini has shared what a next-generation Geralt might look like,. The artist offered two versions: one with Geralt under a hood and one with his face for all to see, with textures and details jumping out of the screen with realism.

The Witcher fans could have banded together to buy a house

The Kickstarter for the The Witcher: Ronin – A Hard Copy Collector’s Edition Manga smashed its original goal within a matter of hours. That didn’t stop fans from continuing to pledge, though. The Kickstarter ended with a whopping €678,036, that’s exactly £579,580… and 27 pence. A whole 750% of the original goal.

Thanks to your support not only did we fund the project in 2 hours and 16 minutes, but we reached 750% of our original goal!

Thank you! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/jKFidMgfgX

Irresistible rewards and gorgeous art promised to Kickstarter pledgers no doubt were the root of its success.

If you’re wondering why fans continued to donate even after the goal was met, a quick gander at the rewards on Kickstarter will tell you why. All Kickstarter pledgers of the lowest tier have been promised a copy of the manga, as well as a postcard with the variant cover artwork. If you shelled out another €15 euros, you’d get a poster as well.

20 dedicated fans pledged €150 to get all that, plus a hand drawn sketch by artist Hayata. It’s honestly a pretty sweet deal, hence it was limited to 20 backers max.

One lucky sod got themselves the €1,050 pledge with a hand-drawn black and white cover by Hayata – wow. I think they deserve to have the Witcher fan bragging rights for life.

In addition, there were several selectable add-ons including a tote bag, sculpture, and pins.

“The Witcher: Ronin presents The Witcher universe as if it were based around the rich traditions of Japanese folklore. In a world such as this, the role of a professional monster slayer is just as essential — as dangerous Yokai and Oni (Japanese spirits and demons) are constantly on the prowl.”

This exciting take on The Witcher series looks absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so excited to see Geralt in a completely new environment. The Kickstarter edition will include 55 extra pages of content: 45 of side-stories, and 10 making-of pages. You might have missed the Kickstarter, but you’ll at least be able to purchase the manga when it drops in January 2022.

I’m already fairly confident that this will be another Witcher masterpiece!
