As you can see in the trailer below, while we did receive a brief look at Hemsworth’s Geralt previously, this is a real first look, as we get to see Hemsworth actually hunting monsters and stepping into Geralt’s shoes. The best news is that we won’t have to wait long to see Geralt in action either, as The Witcher season 4 will hit Netflix on October 30th.
While the focus is on Geralt here, it wouldn’t be a Witcher fight without a monster, and we get one of the franchise stalwarts in a Wraith. The Wraith is haunting the area, and we immediately see the biggest issue when hunting a Wraith, which is that you can’t cut them or hurt them with physical weapons. The Wraith starts to drag Geralt around, but we start to see a plan form from the White Wolf, as a good old-fashioned Yrden sign changes the game completely.
Yrden is one of several Witcher signs that Geralt often uses in the books, the games, and the show, and it’s like a magical trap for spirits. When you use the sign and a spirit is trapped in the area with it, it becomes corporeal, and we see that in action when Geralt traps it and then rips out its core. It screams and distinrgrates, making another job well done.
