A new saga of The Witcher begins
This is certainly good news for Witcher fans, who will be able to enjoy a new adventure with or without Geralt of Rivia. The truth is that many characters in the series could step forward as protagonists, but we are left wanting to know more about this ambitious project. If it does as well as the previous games, it may be the boost CD Projekt needs after the tedious development and release of Cyberpunk 2077.
We remind you that The Witcher is a video game franchise based on the books of the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. It is mainly made up of 3 installments and they also have the Gwent card game based on the same universe. Thanks to the games, The Witcher gained worldwide recognition and is now broadcast a series on Netflix about the adventures of the sorcerer, played by Henry Cavill.
