=== Games === The hunt is featured in [[CD Projekt Red]]'s 2015 [[role-playing video game]] ''[[The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt]]'', based on the books, after being referenced heavily during the events and flashbacks of ''[[The Witcher (video game)|The Witcher]]'' and ''[[The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings]]''. It reveals to be an army of elven conquerors who seek to conquer the world of The Witcher in order to save themselves from a self-spreading spell known as the White Frost, which freezes the worlds and devastates them.<ref>{{cite web |last=Senior |first=Tom |date=2015-05-22 |title=How The Witcher 3 puts misery back into mythology |url=http://www.pcgamer.com/how-the-witcher-3-puts-misery-back-into-mythology/ |access-date=2016-04-03 |work=[[PC Gamer]] |quote=The skull-faced Wild Hunt are derived from the European folk villains of the same name.}}</ref> In the original Advanced ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' (1st Edition) expansion "Deities and Demigods" the Wild Hunt is represented under the Celtic Mythos sections as the Master of the Hunt and the Pack of the Wild Hunt. Players risk a chance of becoming the hunted, or may be compelled to join the Hunt and track down the source of the evil that summoned it, or if that evil isn't found, participate in the slaughter of an innocent person or large game animal, potentially against their alignment and will.<ref>Ward, James M. and Robert J. Kuntz. Deities & Demigods Cyclopedia, edited by Lawrence Schick, TSR Games,1980.</ref> In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' series of [[role-playing video game]]s, the Wild Hunt is a ritual performed by the Bosmer (wood elves) for war, vengeance, or other times of desperation. The elves are transformed into a horde of horrific creatures that kill all in their path. The Daedric Lord Hircine also performs a Wild Hunt ritual more similar to the wild hunt of folklore. This ritual was renamed to the "Great hunt" with the release of [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Wild_Hunt |title=Lore: Wild Hunt |work=The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages |date=2018-10-21 |access-date=2018-11-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Lore:Great Hunt - The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) |url=https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Great_Hunt |access-date=2025-01-05 |website=en.uesp.net |language=en}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=September 2023|reason=WP:USERGENERATED|certain=y}} The Wild Hunt is heavily featured and elaborated on in the [[Obsidian Entertainment]] video game, [[Pentiment (video game)|Pentiment]]. In Assassin's Creed Valhalla it was featured in the seasonal themed update "Oskoreia Festival". In Limbus Company, the Wild Hunt was featured in the third part of Canto/Chapter VI, consisting of many versions of Canto/Chapter VI side characters, being led by an alternative version of one of the playable characters, [[Erlkönig]] [[Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)|Heathcliff]].
