Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia is beloved by both the gaming and entertainment communities alike. In a surprising turn of events, Naraka: Bladepoint is taking another bold step forward with its recent collaboration announcement with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt showcasing Geralt.
Naraka teased many collaborations in its third-anniversary celebration trailer and one of them was The Witcher 3. However, this announcement has taken the gaming community by storm as no one expected to see Geralt in the world of Naraka.
Introduction of Henry Cavill’s Geralt to Naraka: Bladepoint
Crossovers are one of the best ways to bring two games together and provide players with an experience never seen before. Naraka: Bladepoint surprised everyone with its third-year anniversary teaser as it showcased various characters from different games. In the teaser we saw, Plant vs Zombies 2, Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, and even Geralt himself.
After the teaser, it was officially announced that Naraka is going to collaborate with Wild Hunt. The official date is yet to be released. Players are now imagining how Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt would go to Morus Island and showcase his sword-wielding prowess to bring down opponents.
Beware the hidden lands of Perdoria, where monsters lurk at every corner.

Strategic Move by 24 Entertainment as Fans’ Excitement is Building
Naraka’s bold move shows that developers are now thinking outside the box to survive in this evolving yet competitive nature of the gaming industry. And for the fans of both franchises, this crossover is like a dream come true. The official date for the collaboration is still unknown but it is confirmed that it will be coming in 2024.
As players await the arrival of the crossover, one thing is certain: If done correctly, this will be one of the best crossovers for Naraka and will help them showcase their capability to connect two universes together, resulting in more player engagement and anticipation for future collaborations.
In the end, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt collaboration was unexpected and came out of nowhere, but it has quickly become a big part of the player’s need and excitement.
