Many gamers, together with me, spent a whole bunch of hours with protagonist Geralt exploring each nook of the map, finishing each quest, and killing each monster. Nevertheless it seems that just about a decade later, The Witcher 3 nonetheless has secrets and techniques to uncover, the most recent of which is an Easter egg hiding below the bustling metropolis of Novigrad.

The video factors out that the Easter egg isn’t seen when exploring the world with an unlocked digital camera, solely when the participant exploits a particular glitch—although what precise glitch will get gamers to the Easter egg is unclear. xLetalis claims a viewer encountered the Easter egg by sprinting in the direction of Dijkstra within the tub home workplace, however that he managed to set off the glitch by utilizing the “section” console command and glitching by the partitions immediately above the Easter eggs location.
This isn’t the primary time an Easter egg within the Witcher 3 has taken years to find.

On the finish of her quest, Geralt warns that her lifespan has been shortened to seven years. xLetalis used console instructions to quick ahead in-game seven years and located that Vivienne does die simply as Geralt predicted.
The aim of this newest uncovered Easter egg is unknown, though like most issues hidden in video games, it may simply be a enjoyable secret builders left for gamers to search out down the road. Although the “CDPR NEEDS YOU!” message has xLetalis questioning if this was meant as some type of precise recruitment for the developer—maybe when you had been capable of finding this poster, you’d be deemed worthy of a shot with the studio.

When The Witcher 3 launched its subsequent gen replace in 2022, the sport included a handful of fan-made mods (together with lifelike vaginas which have since been eliminated). An official mod editor is ready to return to the Witcher 3 someday this 12 months, so we may even see much more Easter eggs pop up sooner or later.
