A FITTING GERALTERNATIVE

Superman actor Henry Cavill is set to star in an upcoming Netfl ix drama based on The Witcher. Netfl ix say the
show will see a “mutated monster hunter struggling to fi nd

his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts,” which sounds like something we can all get behind. Predicted to hit the subscription service in
2020, The Witcher’s fi rst season will lean more towards Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s original short stories than CD Projekt Red’s videogames, although we can all expect Cavill’s small-screen Geralt to match his digital counterpart for brooding intensity, rippling muscles, and unplaceable accent. The Witcher’s fi rst eight
episodes will mark the Mission Impossible: Fallout actor’s fi rst TV role since 2010’s lusty historical drama, The Tudors.

A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
Ryo Hazuki He comes for revenge but stays for the minigames and
shopping.
Ten months. That’s the length of time between now and Shenmue III’s release, and for fans of the epic role-playing saga that started life on the Dreamcast in 1999, it’s going to be agonising. Even more agonising than losing an arm

But rest assured, this epic tale of Ryo Hazuki venturing across China in order to fi nd those responsible for his father’s death will be worth the wait. The release date is set for 27 August, 2019 but if you need some street fi ghts and forklift races in your life before then, be sure to track down the recently released Shenmue I and II collection on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
