About

The Witcher is a critically acclaimed action role-playing series following the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. The franchise includes major releases such as The Witcher, Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, alongside major expansions like Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. The series is highly regarded for its mature storytelling, choice-driven narratives, and deep world-building.

Developed by Polish studio CD Projekt Red and based on the fantasy novels of Andrzej Sapkowski, the franchise's release history is marked by numerous specialized editions and expansions. Following the initial entry, which saw various re-releases like The Witcher (2013), the gameplay transitioned to a more cinematic style with Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition [Box Set] (2011), a release supported by companion materials such as the Witcher 2 [Prima] (1993) guide.

The technological and commercial pinnacle of the franchise arrived with its third main entry. This title was distributed in several formats, including Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [Bonus Edition] (2013) and Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [With Bonus Content] (2013). The game's lifecycle was extended through major post-launch campaigns, notably The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Hearts Of Stone (2013)—also released as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [Expansion Pack Hearts Of Stone] (2013)—and the final chapter, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Blood And Wine (2016). Together, these releases established the franchise as a landmark in modern game design and a major export of the Polish software industry.
