The Animal Crossing: New Horizons player in question is Reddit user ButIDigress79, who has shown off other parts of their Witcher island in the past. Last month, the player showcased a Witcher 3 bandit camp complete with tents and other props. Before that, they had shown off a walled town that resembled Novigrad. Now, they are highlighting “a dangerous forest,” and it is filled with just as many details as the other sections.

The clip begins with ButIDigress79 walking through a graveyard, only to come across a mannequin laying on the floor. Two creepy figures stand behind the mannequin, likely meant to resemble Nekkers or some other horrifying Witcher monster, and a blood stain is seen below the mannequin. This is a clever way to add a dead body to a tame game like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and the fan’s creativity does not stop there. Alongside some dead trees, a cave can be seen with a Gyroid standing outside of it, likely meant to resemble another monster.
While the Redditor dressed up as Triss Merigold when exploring the city portion of their Animal Crossing: New Horizons island, this time they donned the clothing of Geralt of Rivia. Alongside the character’s signature white hair and a beard, it seems like the School of the Bear armor is being worn. With Geralt sure to come across some terrifying monsters inside any forest he stumbles upon, it makes sense to gear up with a strong armor set - even if the only threats in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are Wasps, Tarantulas, and Scorpions.
With the bandit camp able to be seen in the background, as while as a garden gnome being stuck in a cage, it is clear that ButIDigress79 has gone all-in on their Witcher-themed areas. From the walled city to this dangerous forest to the dock shown at the end of the clip, every single location is themed around The Witcher series. Given how unique each space looks, it is no surprise that fans have responded so well to the post. With over 7,000 upvotes, many will likely want to visit the island themselves, which can be done using the Dream Island Address provided by its creator.
While ButIDigress79 says that they still need to put finishing touches on the forest area before seeing the island as complete, the current version looks incredible. Though there are plenty of other memorable Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands, this one seems like a dream come true for Witcher fans.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
