Netflix's Witcher: New Nilfgaard Armors in Photos

A new photo from the set gives a look at what the armor of Nilfgaard soldiers will look like in the second season of Netflix's The Witcher, redesigned from scratch.

A small, but very significant change - the second season of Netflix's The Witcher will fix one of the most criticized design elements of seasons 1. It's about the armors of Nilfgaard soldiers, and which looked quite... unusual. Despite the fact that the creators led by Tomasz Baginski and Lauren S. Hissrich tried to refute the accusations and explain their vision, eventually it was promised that the Nilfgaard armor will take on a slightly different look in the second season.

The Nilfgaard armor in season one of The Witcher was heavily criticized

We first saw the new Nilfgaard armor in October last year. Now we can get an even better idea of how the empire's forces will look like - we have to admit that their appearance will please all fans of the "classic approach" in fantasy design. According to redanianintelligence.com, Nilfgaard's new armor is likely to be put to good use, as a trebuchet has also been spotted on the set of The Witcher, suggesting that the developers want to give us some more satisfying battle scenes.

February is a very busy month for the filmmakers gathered at Arborfield Studios in the UK. The crew led by producer Lauren S. Hissrich has switched to a 6-day work week, and more actors (including Jota Castellano, who plays the role of one of the witchers) declare that their threads have already been completed. Bart Edwards and Gaia Mondadori were recently spotted on set as Ciri's parents, Duny and Pavetta, suggesting that the second season of The Witcher will feature flashbacks to the events in Cintra.
