Let the WitcherCon begin!

From Deck of Destiny to Tales of the White Wolf, together with The Witcher Netflix we have prepared for you an exciting line-up of panels, behind-the-scenes tidbits, news, and announcements – live now at:

twitch.tv/cdprojektred
youtube.com/witchergame

 

[Alicja.]

We teamed up with Netflix to bring the world of The Witcher into your homes and celebrate the franchise together! Tune in to WitcherCon on July 9th at 7 PM CEST or July 10th at 3 AM CEST — you can watch the event on our official Twitch and YouTube channels.

To make sure this event is an unforgettable experience we prepared a few tips for you…

First of all, every witcher needs their medallion. So grab this file and power up your 3D printer to print your own wolf school medallion! We recommend making it around 5 cm big.

If you want to spice things up, you can instead go for our Wolf Paper Masks and turn your Watch Party into a masquerade ball worthy of a witcher. Download the files and print on heavier stock paper for best results:

• Wolf #1
• Wolf #2

Last, but not least… snacks! Because you can’t have a proper WitcherCon without something to nibble on. Together with Witcher Kitchen we came up with some quick & easy-to-make recipes for you, inspired by flavours of the Continent!

Butcher's Vegetable Fries

Velen’s Popped Buckwheat

Valley of Plenty Crackers

Kaer Morhen Mulled Potion

You can find the full recipes here. And if you need some mugs for your drinks, check out what CD PROJEKT RED Gear has to offer.

Are you ready now? See you during WitcherCon on July 9th!

Sharpen your swords and charge your smartphones — the worldwide premiere of The Witcher: Monster Slayer for iOS and Android is coming July 21st!

Android users can now pre-register on Google Play Store.

See you on the Path!

This May we celebrated two anniversaries: 10 years since The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was released and 6 years since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released. We decided to use this occasion to celebrate YOU — our community and your amazing creations!

Last, but not least, let’s see some cool mods made for The Witcher games!

Here’s a hint: Beauclair, an inspired artist, and Geralt in the nude!

We’re happy to announce The Witcher: Old World — a new board game set in the world of The Witcher, created in cooperation with GO ON BOARD publishing company and designed by Łukasz Woźniak, author of board games such as Valhalla and Titans.

The Witcher: Old World is intended for 2-5 people and takes place long before times of Geralt of Rivia. Players take on a role of professional monster slayers who recently completed their brutal training in one of the witcher schools: School of Wolf, Viper, Cat, Bear or Griffin. On their adventures across the Continent, young witchers will face difficult choices, take on contracts, battle monsters — and perhaps find themselves brawling with another witcher in order to defend their school’s honor!

The game’s crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter will begin in May 2021 and will offer the community a chance to have a significant impact on the contents of the game, as well as the stories it features. The Witcher: Old World is currently scheduled to be released in April 2022. At this point, the game is planned to be released in English and Polish, but other language versions are being negotiated.

To keep up to date on progress in the game’s development, follow the game on Kickstarter and visit GO ON BOARD’s Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channel.
