While theWitcherNetflix series is incredibly popular, especially its first season, that’s not to say it has ever been perfect, and perhaps the worst part of the show is coming toThe Witcher 3as part of its next-gen update. Indeed, CDPR recently released a trailer showingall the improvements inThe Witcher 3for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
However, it’s been spotted that some Nilfgaard soldiers will wear the wrinkly, disliked suits seen in the show. The games feature a memorable black and metallic look for Nilfgaard armor, but the show used something that was wrinkly and almost disgusting to look at. ThisNilfgaard armor stirred controversy for theWitcherNetflix series, even after showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich explained that the team wanted something that could look mass-produced due to the size of the Nilfgaardian army, as well as something fitting for combat. On the one hand, this makes sense, but on the other hand, it doesn’t mean anyone had to be happy about it.

It’s been no secret thatThe Witcher 3would get Netflix-inspired DLC, but some may have forgotten about it. TheCyberpunk: EdgerunnersDLC came toCyberpunk 2077much quicker, after all. However, as spotted by Push Square, one Nilfgaard soldier in the trailer is clearly wearing this armor. It’s uncertain how this will work, as it could be a permanent change to the game (though this feels unlikely) or some form of in-game toggle like alternate outfits. Either way, it’s a surprising addition given how this armor was received by fans.
However, the good news is that anew armor set forThe Witcher 3’s Geraltcan also be seen in the trailer. It’s luckily not the wrinkly armor of Nilfgaard, but a simple Netflix-inspired suit of armor for Geralt. Fans will just have to wait and see how this works, and it should be noted that CDPR has said patch notes for the update will come closer to launch.
It’s likely there fans will learn how this suit works. For the most part, if fans who hated this Nilfgaard armor can ignore, it should all turn out well. After all, this update is more than a suit of armor, and all the next-gen upgrades coming toThe Witcher 3have built a ton of hype over the last few months. If it plays better, then this will likely be forgiven by its naysayers.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s next-gen upgrades come to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on December 14.
