Summary
One player manages to find a creative way of turningThe Witcher 3into a version ofTony Hawks Pro Skater. Based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels, CD Projekt Red’s open-world RPG has had players hooked since first released in 2016. Some 7 years later,The Witcher 3is still seeing updatesthanks to its enduring popularity.
The game has gone on to win multiple awards, but as with any large open-world epics,The Witcher 3isn’t without its fair share of glitches. A recent example of this can be seen ina glitch that turns Geralt of Rivia into The Flash, as the bug doubles Geralt’s movement speed in the game. While these are often humorous, one player has found a way of turningThe Witcher 3into the popular skate-sim.
A user on Reddit going by the name of IndubitablyCreami has posted a video showcasing Geralt’s skating skills when the player finds themselves in a gulley that doubles up as a natural halfpipe. The short clip shows the titular Witcher enjoying a slide down the ridge, bouncing from one side to another. While IndubitablyCreami isn’t able to pull off any tricks, owing to a lack of skateboard, the sentiment is still there.
The comments underneath the video are delighted by the impromptu skate session they have found inThe Witcher 3. Although the clip might seem tongue-in-cheek at first glance, it actually serves a purpose. One of the achievements players can unlock inThe Witcher 3involves sliding uninterrupted downhill for 10 seconds, making this spot as useful as it is funny.
As players are still having fun discovering what can be done in Geralt’s third outing,CD Projekt Red has begun development onThe Witcher 4. The title is set to begin a new saga in the franchise, and the studio is keen to learn from the mistakes it encountered during the development ofCyberpunk 2077. The key shift is that the team will be utilizing the power of Unreal Engine 5 rather than its own proprietary Red Engine.
Unfortunately, the future of theTony Hawk Pro Skaterfranchise looks a little less certain, withTony Hawk himself confirming aTony Hawks Pro Skater 3 + 4remake was canceledby the studio. Microsoft’s recent $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard also casts further doubt on the franchise, leaving players like IndubitablyCreami to find creative solutions to get their skateboarding fix.
