I am a Witcher 3 obsessive, revisiting CD Undertaking’s opus as soon as each two or three years, however that hardly holds a candle to the Witcher 3 devotion of xLetalis, a YouTuber who’s been documenting the huge recreation’s secrets and techniques and esoterica since launch, and remains to be discovering new surprises to at the present time.
The most recent, as reported by IGN, is an easter egg that appears to have been supposed for plucky boundary breakers who managed to search out themselves outdoors the conventional play space in Novigrad. Beneath the metropolis, you possibly can encounter an Uncle Sam-esque drawing of a Temarian soldier pointing on the viewer, with textual content beneath studying “CDPR Wants You.”
XLetalis was knowledgeable of the easter egg by a viewer who claims to have glitched into the house beneath Novigrad—xLetalis himself was unable to copy this, and managed to achieve the drawing through a console command. The YouTuber was unable to search out one other occasion of the artwork in The Witcher 3, however recalled seeing one thing comparable elsewhere within the recreation. My guess? He might have been pondering of the same riff on previous US recruitment posters discovered round The Witcher 1’s Vizima all the best way again in 2007.
XLetalis questioned if this may need been a real stab at a recruitment instrument by CD Projekt, and I believe there’s a real risk there. Should you have been capable of escape of bounds and see this message, that speaks to having the appropriate stuff to develop into a top quality assurance tester. My guess is that this was positioned as a cheeky response to a identified shippable bug that allow you to get beneath Novigrad, much like the one xLetalis’ viewer used, if not the very same one.
You might acknowledge xLetalis’ identify from our earlier reporting on a Witcher 3 secret that solely exhibits up after seven in-game years move, or the cross-game ARG/easter egg FF:06:B5, present in each Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3. XLetalis periodically releases compendiums of Witcher 3 secrets and techniques, like this one from a couple of months in the past. My favourite pertains to Blood and Wine’s Cianfanelli Financial institution: not solely are you able to get banned for all times should you mess up its related quest, however the workers may even put up a “don’t serve this man” sketch of Geralt within the foyer. Ouch.
