Netflix Witcher Trailer: 10 Details You Totally Missed

1. The Secret Runic Alphabet

This is one of the coolest subtle teases at the close of the trailer, as it's super easy to miss that on the sides of the Witcher font, are a series of runes.

In the games, Runes are mostly used to upgrade Geralt and reforge equipment, but they had an entirely more subtle use: Their own alphabet.

Though at time of writing we haven't seen enough of these to discern any words or phrases from their placement (and obviously, it's a cool visual effect first and foremost), but don't be surprised if runic plays a fun role when it comes to analysing backgrounds and environmental details.

After all, we have one mysterious character in a handful of shots - why not an entire secret language?
