The white wolf is coming to Future 2 by the use of some new cosmetics. Bungie teased a crossover with CD Projekt Crimson’s beloved RPG The Witcher 3 that may add three new armor units to make gamers appear like protagonist Geralt of Rivia, no less than in the event that they’re prepared to shell out $20 or extra for a single set. The brand new skins look nice, but in addition arrive at Future 2’s lowest level in years.
“At present, Bungie revealed the upcoming in-game collaboration with CD Projekt Crimson coming alongside Season of the Want on November 28,” the corporate wrote in a press launch. “Guardians can model themselves as monster slayers with new cosmetics impressed by Geralt of Rivia. The crossover contains armor ornaments, a Ghost shell, ship, Sparrow, emote, and finisher.”
We don’t know precisely how a lot the armor units will value, however previous collaborations with video games like Murderer’s Creed have been priced at $20 per armor set. Which means it might be $60 to purchase all three, not together with the Ghost shell and different stuff. Crossover units have additionally historically not been in the stores with vivid mud, the forex earned in-game, that means the one option to unlock the Witcher 3 units will probably be to pay for them with actual cash.
As a giant fan of all issues Witcher, from the books and video games to the quickly declining Netflix adaptation, I’m intrigued by the brand new skins. However their timing couldn’t be worse. A tough yr for Future 2 just lately culminated in Bungie shedding 100 staff in addition to reportedly lacking income projections by 45 % and delaying The Closing Form enlargement by three months. It left gamers who had been already pissed off with the route of the sport in latest seasons skeptical and nervous. As Forbes author Paul Tassi just lately identified, Future 2 is now at its lowest concurrent participant quantity ever on Steam.
Whereas the beginning of Season of the Want subsequent week appears to be like prefer it may lastly make good on a Future 2 thriller that dates again 5 years, tons of questions on the way forward for the sport stay, and the proliferation of dear armor units stays a serious sore spot for the group. Future 2 made one in every of its new armor units free in September to attempt to assuage a number of the anger. Asking gamers to shell out for one more collaboration after simply shedding employees, together with group managers, composers, and even longtime veterans, will probably be one other powerful promote, regardless of how good the units look.
