The series' success has allowed it to branch off into a variety of new properties and products from its original novelization, including a mobile game, multiple board games, live-action series on Netflix, a digital card game, an animated series, and even its own convention dubbed WitcherCon . This has also led to the series being referenced in a variety of other video games, and Geralt of Rivia crossing over into some titles, although there are still many games he would be perfect to make an appearance


Geralt of Rivia's first big crossover came in his appearance in Soulcalibur 6 as a playable character. With the Soulcalibur series' focus on melee-weapon combat, Geralt of Rivia made perfect sense as a fighter. He was able to wield his sword with the usual grace and spins that fans expected, as well as putting some of his iconic Witcher signs to use. Another major game for Geralt was Monster Hunter World 's Witcher crossover eve


Despite the crossovers The Witcher has already had, there are many video games that it would feel right at home in. One option would keep Geralt in the fighting game genre and see him making an appearance in the Mortal Kombat series. Not only would he fit as an agile fighter with a variety of moves, but Mortal Kombat has had a variety of strange guest characters in the past. It also would be interesting to see how Mortal Kombat would apply its over-the-top gore and fatalities to Geralt, which would fit the series' mature themes and make Geralt seem more devastating than his appearance in Soulcalibur


Sunbreak launched a year after Rise, giving fans the perfect excuse to revisit the game shortly after finishing it. It's impressive how the expansion can bring so much new content to the table without overwhelming the player, and none of it feels half-baked or unnecessary. Monster Hunter Rise is great on its own, but you'll want to play Sunbreak to experience its full potent
