The official Twitter account for The Witcher games has celebrated the release of season two of Netflix's The Witcher with a hilarious Geralt and Spider-Man mash-up meme. Fans have been waiting a long time for the Netflix launch, and gamers can enjoy the new release with a range of Witcher game sales from GOG and other platforms.
Both the CD Projekt Red The Witcher games and the Netflix series are based on the novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, though the interpretations each have their differences, including plot points, stories, and character designs. In the book and video games, Ciri has knowledge of the Witchers, and Yennefer knows the details of Geralt's djinn wish, things that aren't part of the Netflix show. Similarly, Geralt's armor and clothing differs across the different mediums, though, as part of the upcoming Witcher 3 new-gen upgrade due in 2022, fans will soon be able to enjoy DLC Netflix cosmetics in The Witcher 3.
Celebrating season two of Netflix's show, The Witcher game account on Twitter has shared a hilarious Geralt meme that replaces Spider-Man with the Witcher. The meme, based on the popular Spider-Man still of two Spider-Man characters pointing at each other, shows the differences between the Netflix Geralt and the game Geralt, including the beard, dual-swords, and different clothing seen in the video games. Congratulating Netflix on its new release, The Witcher writes: "We're seeing double! Congratulations of the launch of Season 2."

The hilarious Witcher meme has already proven to be a social media hit, amassing thousands of Likes shortly after its posting, and serves to highlight just a few of the differences between the Netflix show and game. While CD Projekt Red has kept quiet about the upcoming Netflix tie-in content for The Witcher 3, fans are expecting to see in-game recreations of some of Netflix Geralt's clothing, armor, and perhaps even his weaponry, and the meme could be serving as a spoiler for what players can expect in terms of Geralt's new in-game attire. An exact release date for the new-gen upgrade and DLC hasn't yet been announced, but the company has stated that the content is expected to launch sometime in Q2 2022.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is recognized as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, and its Netflix counterpart is proving to be just as popular with fans. With the release of season two today, December 17, it's likely that players will once again have the itch to dive back into Geralt's video game adventures, though it may be worth holding off for the new-generation upgrade. The PS5 and Xbox SX Witcher 3 versions are expected to add a host of improvements, though the full details have yet to be revealed.
