The Witcher 3: Wild Huntlaunched back in 2015, but has managed to stay as a powerhouse in the RPG genre.The Witcher 3still has fans steadily developing mods for fellow players, with one of the newest additions being Kratos' Leviathan Axe fromGod of War.
God of War(2018) replaced Krato’s iconic chained bladeswith a more traditional axe, spiced up with some runic inscriptions, ice properties, and the ability for it to fly back to the player’s hands after throwing it. It was a risky move completely changing the mechanics and move set of one of gaming’s most well-known action protagonists, butGod of Warexecuted it well and cemented the Leviathan Axe in the series' iconic arsenal.

Thanks to YouTuber Dmitri Games Studio,Witcher 3players can now use that same axe.The Witcher 3allows players to use some weapons other than the standard sword, like maces and axes, but the game doesn’t have any legendary versions of either. The inclusion of the Leviathan Axe, however, changes that. The video posted showcasing the mod shows that the axe occupies the steel sword equipment slot and that it uses the same animations as regular swords in the game, meaning it should be easy for players to grab it since the moves will be familiar.
The axe is a faithful recreation, complete with its wavy shaft and runic inscriptions on the head. While the axe does not bring any ice powers, or the ability to throw it like a boomerang, it looks stylish in Geralt’s acrobatic hands. For any players that want to see it in action, a promotional video does show it off toward the end, with Geralt chopping down a crowd ofWitcher 3’s all too familiar bandits.
It’s cool seeing the Leviathan Axe jump intoThe Witcher 3’s world, and it is a great treat for the doubtlessly numerous fans of both games. There is a huge amount of content inThe Witcher 3, especially with theHearts of StoneandBlood and Wineexpansions that both are large enough to be their own games, but the Leviathan Axe is a great addition that stands out from the rest of the weapons in the game. There is no doubt thatThe Witcher 3will continue to keep getting great mods from its community, so fans should be having new content to explore for a while yet.
The Witcher 3: Wild Huntis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
