Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher is coming to Monster Hunter: World next year. Unlike other crossovers for Monster Hunter: World, Capcom and CD Projekt Red’s collaboration is more than just a costume; Geralt will be a playable character, and the game will send players on “Witcher-inspired quests.”

In an announcement, CD Projekt Red said the Geralt cameo in Monster Hunter: World will “offer a unique gameplay experience blending RPG mechanics of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter: World’s game systems.” Players will get to utilize Geralt’s “signature fighting style, seamlessly blending swordplay, combat magic, and an assortment of monster hunting equipment,” CD Projekt Red said.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crossover event will come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in “early 2019.” Geralt will come to the Windows PC version of Monster Hunter: World at an unannounced date. Later next year, Monster Hunter: World will get a major new expansion titled Iceborne, Capcom announced today.
This is Geralt’s second major crossover within the span of a few months. The star of The Witcher series also appeared in Bandai Namco’s Soulcalibur 6 as a guest character.
