CDPR urged to cut the hideous Netflix-style Nilfgaardian armor from The Witcher 3 remaster

Given past reactions, it was only a matter of time before the controversial design choice for the Nilfgaardian armor would be spotted in The Witcher 3 remaster trailer and spark active outrage

The trailer for The Witcher 3 remaster showcased the Nilfgaardian armor design. The fears of some fans came true: CD Projekt RED dared to use the “wrinkly” Netflix design, which had previously faced heavy criticism from many.

Some tried to defend CD Projekt RED, entertaining the thought that it was merely an inside joke by the developers. Far from all fans are happy about such armor, and they also noticed that CDPR avoids drawing attention to it when releasing screenshots of the remaster.

Information about the Nilfgaardian armor in The Witcher 3 remaster spread quickly. Players began asking questions, and some even called for it to be cut entirely.

Some do not understand why CD Projekt RED spent time and resources at all on creating additional content in the style of Netflix’s “The Witcher”. The fact is that the Netflix series divides The Witcher community — some simply despise everything related to it due to controversial writing and design choices. There is also an opinion that the contract with Netflix was simply used to get money for making the remaster.
