After Henry Cavill dropped the mantle of the Geralt of Rivia

Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Pays Tribute to Henry Cavill Through a Hidden Easter Egg

Every once in a while comes a role or a character in a movie or a show that fans
instantly fall in love with. Perfectly fitting that description was Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as the Geralt of Rivia in the
sci-fi series The Witcher. Even though Cavill has played a plethora of
characters over the years, the Geralt of Rivia is still one of his most popular
roles to date. Not long ago, the Enola Holmes star bid farewell to the role.
However, recently the franchise seemingly paid tribute to the British icon.



As we all know, before Netflix’s blockbuster series made its way to the
platform, The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]was already a
very popular video game franchise. Furthermore, it had a huge influence on the
show as well. And recently, The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt got a huge major update. So
how did the award-winning video game thank Cavill?


WHAT IS THE HIDDEN HENRY CAVILL EASTER EGG IN THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt got a major update, bringing in some exciting changes
in the game. Apart from the update in graphics and improvement in the quality of
life, the game has something exciting for the fans. The update comes with a new
quest and a hidden Easter egg. Apparently, the video game franchise paid tribute
to the Cavill, who previously starred as Geralt.



One of the major additions to the game is a dog named Kal. Interestingly, even
Cavill’s Akita has the same name. Apparently, the pooch is seen roaming around
Velen near the Devil’s Pit in the game. However, the player must have the latest
update installed to find Kal. Meanwhile, Philip Weber, the game’s acting and
narrative director confirmed that Ken was featured in the game to honor the
British actor.

Previously, after the news of Cavill retiring from the Superman role broke out,
Weber tweeted how he was sad by the news. Furthermore, he continued

how Kal was a way of “showing appreciation for great passion and enthusiasm.”
Meanwhile, after dropping two major franchises, Cavill is all set to return to
our screens

through his new series Warhammer 40K, based on the game.

Considering how big of a fan Cavill is of the tabletop franchise, it’s an
exciting project to look forward to. Furthermore, now that Cavill has left
DC, Marvel fans have started picturing the actor in several Marvel roles as
well.
