The Witcher Fan Merchandise
In 2007, CD Projekt Red proved that great role-playing games don't necessarily have to come from the USA or Japan. With The Witcher, they brought the captivating novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, centering on the witcher Geralt of Rivia, to digital life. The action RPG quickly became a favorite among critics and fans alike, impressing with high-quality graphics, a profound story, and complex RPG elements. This marked the beginning of one of the most successful (and, above all, most popular) game series of all time.
Four years later, the development studio followed up with a worthy second installment, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which managed to surpass its predecessor in every regard. Visually, The Witcher 2 was one of the most beautiful games of 2011, and narratively, it challenged us with difficult decisions and unexpected plot twists. To this day, Assassins of Kings is considered an atmospheric masterpiece and is frequently cited and praised by fans.
However, CD Projekt Red achieved its major breakthrough in 2015 with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Over the following years, this game would top every best-of list and be named Role-Playing Game of the Year multiple times in a row, as well as become the most-played RPG ever. While the previous titles were quite linear and featured a somewhat restrictive level structure, the third part embraced an open world that could be freely explored, inviting players to discover and linger.
Whether you wanted to play a round of Gwent with merchants, go monster hunting, complete treasure hunts, or finish side quests: in The Witcher 3, there was as much to do outside of the brilliant main story as in any Bethesda RPG.
If you played the standard versions of the first two Witcher games, you might have noticed the new voice actor for Geralt in the third part. Instead of Herbert Schäfer, known as Commander Shepard from Mass Effect, the lead role was entrusted to Oliver Siebeck, whose deep voice is closer to the original and who dubs personalities like Mark Strong, Ray Stevenson, or Barack Obama in German. By the way, he was also cast for the Enhanced Editions of Witcher 1 and 2 to ensure the trilogy sounds consistent. But that's just a fun fact on the side. And while we’re on the subject of fun facts: did you know that Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowski isn't a fan of the games and now even regrets selling the license for them? To that, we can only say: luckily, he sold it anyway! Or could you imagine a world without the game trilogy? We certainly can't.
With the "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine" DLCs, which could each have been separate games, CD Projekt Red expanded the third installment into an absolute content monster. The quests were consistently of extremely high quality, and the wine-growing region of Toussaint set visual standards. Overall, this brought the Witcher epic to a worthy conclusion, and even over half a decade after its release, you can play through the main game and its expansions time and again, discovering new facets, choosing different dialogue options, and experiencing new story paths. And for those who enjoyed the card game Gwent so much that they collected all the cards in the world and defeated every opponent, there is also Gwent, the logical evolution as a standalone game.
Speaking of standalone games: in 2018, CD Projekt Red delivered Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, a blend of RPG and collectible card game with an emotional story, told through complex, stylish artwork and a surprising narrative arc. While the 2D look isn't to everyone's taste and the game, programmed with the Unity engine, can't compete with the main installments in terms of scope, it is a must-play for a true fan, offering at least 20–30 hours of gameplay. Ultimately, it shines with the typical Witcher strengths: the decisions you make impact the course of the game, the story is deep and moving, and the entire player experience feels well-rounded and positively unconventional.
At the end of 2019, Netflix finally honored the Witcher saga with a cinematic tribute, delighting us with a live-action series starring muscle-bound gaming nerd Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. Unlike the games, this series tells the prequel to the novels—basically, what we already know from Sapkowski's two short story collections, "The Last Wish" and "Sword of Destiny." They couldn't have found a better actor for the witcher. Cavill combines the look of a Hollywood hunk with the nerdiness of a true gamer like no one else. The YouTube video where he builds his own high-end PC is unforgettable, as is the anecdote that he almost missed his audition for the role of Superman because he was playing World of Warcraft.
