Even Geralt isn't prepared for the horror that is Mr. X

A new mod has surfaced for the Resident Evil 2 remake that lets you play as Geralt from The Witcher. You can check out a video of the mod in action up top.

The mod comes from Wiwilz, who also developed a mod that replaces Claire with Ciri. Unlike the Ciri mod though, the one that replaces Leon with Geralt features facial animations, making things look a bit more natural.

To note, the Geralt mod isn't compatible with any of the Resident Evil 2 remake's DLC costumes, with the exception of Arklay Sheriff. And while it's to be expected, you can't actually wield Geralt's silver and steel swords. The best you can do is to use a knife while the swords stay strapped to Geralt's back. Or, you can throw authenticity to the wind, equip a shotgun, and imagine Geralt's gleeful amazement of the technology's killing power.

PC players can download the Resident Evil 2 remake Geralt mod over at Nexus Mods, but do note that you'll need to also download fluffyquack's mod manager for installation.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
