Despite releasing back in 2019,Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceremains incredibly popular, with gamers still going back to the title due to its fun and challenging combat system. SomeSekiro: Shadows Die Twicefanshave even messed around with mods, and one particularly fun mod sees Geralt of Rivia battling it out in the lands of Ashina.
This is hardly the first character swap mod fans have seen, as this particular type of mod has proven to be hugely popular in video games. For instance,God of Warhas been getting a number of character swap mods since it came to PC, with everyone fromThe Simpsonscast toPirates of The Caribbean’s Jack Sparrowbecoming playable within the game. Clearly,Sekirois not safe from these mods either, though Geralt does fit quite well into Wolf’s shoes.

An expert with a sword just likeSekiroprotagonist Wolf, seeing Geralt deflect enemy strikes and deliver quick hits of his own is not too shocking. However, seeing him clash with Genichiro on top of Ashina Castle is a bit more memorable, with the mod perfectly capturing the Butcher of Blaviken’s attire from the Hearts of Stone DLC. Outside the white shirt and tied back hair, this Geralt fights exactly like Wolf does, performing counters and striking just as fast asSekiro’s actual protagonist.
Alongside a joke that this iswhatThe Witcher 4will look like, Atyn_Rener, the Redditor that shared the footage, made sure to make it even more entertaining by adding someWitchermusic to the battle. With the post shared directly to the officialWitcher 3subreddit, it is no surprise that many enjoyed it, with the post in question bringing in 2,000 upvotes and some entertaining comments. Some viewers suggested that Geralt should have asked Genichiro to play Gwent, while others pointed out that the Prosthetic Tool is essentially a stand-in for Geralt’s Signs.
While the title was clearly meant as a joke, the Geralt mod from Eyedeability did inspireThe Witcherfans to ask for aSekirofeature in the next game. Specifically, Reddit user Ieferi suggested the option to set Geralt’s swords on fire using theIgni Sign, letting them wield a flaming weapon like inSekiro. As pointed out by Aytn_Rener, who showed off the mod, a huge part ofThe Witcher’s gameplay loop is centered around creating special Oil to use in combat. As such, being able to make sword Oil that can be lit up with Igni seems viable.
Regardless, the clip is an excellent example of how dedicated theSekiromodding communityis. From co-op and area updates to special character models like Geralt, there is plenty of fun to be had with the PC version ofSekiro.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
