This Witcher 3 mod turns Geralt into Overwatch's Genji

Game crossovers brought to life by mods and community creations are nothing new. League of Legends' Akali has appeared in Risk of Rain 2, The Witcher has come to Skyrim, and Skyrim's Dark Brotherhood has even popped up in Minecraft (well, sort of), for example. Now, another unlikely but intriguing match is possible, thanks to a new mod that lets Geralt become one of the best Overwatch characters.

HackerAxe's aptly titled 'Genji of Rivia' mod lets you "bring your Genji obsession to the world of The Witcher 3", adding a brand-new set of armour as well as swords "ported from Overwatch and gently polished for maximum immersion", the creator explains. "It is time for Geralt to don the high-damage, sleek, and breathable armour of Genji Shimada - the green cyborg ninja dude from Overwatch!"

The mod's armour is made up of "4K textured" components that have been tweaked just slightly to help them fit a little more seamlessly into The Witcher's own world - though, given the RPG game's fantasy-Renaissance-esque setting, the monster slayer's probably still going to attract a few double glances from its townsfolk.
