CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT WITCHERCON

On July 9th and 10th, CD PROJEKT RED and Netflix presented WitcherCon — a global online celebration of The Witcher franchise featuring numerous panels and announcements related to the world of The Witcher video games and the Netflix series.

Streaming to Twitch and YouTube, WitcherCon was aired over two separate streams containing many fun and eventful panels focused around different aspects of the world of The Witcher — as well as content unique to each stream. Some of the highlights from the event include: Geralt of T-Rivia — where key creators from The Witcher series of games and The Witcher Netflix series competed to test their knowledge in a Witcher-universe themed quiz. Then, in Memories From the Path, developers from CD PROJEKT RED discussed how the digital stories of the games have been brought to life over the years, before revisiting old memories together and reminiscing about the creation of the games.

CD PROJEKT RED also put the spotlight on their expanded Witcher universe in The Witcher: Beyond Video Games — at the heart of which was the reveal of the upcoming comic book The Witcher: Ronin. The comic is stylized in the manga form, and tells an ancient-Japanese-inspired tale which casts Geralt as a monster-slaying Ronin on the hunt of the mythical Yuki Onna — the Lady of Snow. A special hardback collector’s edition of The Witcher: Ronin will be coming soon to Kickstarter.

Coming to iOS and Android for free on July 21st, the game tasks players with becoming a witcher themselves, stepping out into familiar surroundings transformed into a dark fantasy realm to hunt down bloodthirsty beasts lurking nearby.
