The Witcher, Videogame trailer

The Witcher is a 2007 action role-playing game developed by CD Projekt Red for Microsoft Windows, based on the fantasy novel series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The game takes place after the events of the main saga and follows the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter with supernatural powers.

The game was well-received upon its release, leading to the development of two sequels: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings in 2011 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015. A console version titled The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf was planned for 2009 but was eventually suspended due to payment issues. In 2022, a remake of the game, The Witcher Remake, was announced, to be developed using Unreal Engine 5.

Gameplay involves players choosing from three combat styles to tackle various enemies, with an emphasis on strategy and timing. Alchemy plays a significant role, allowing players to create potions, oils, and bombs to aid in combat. The game also features a time-delayed decision-consequence system, enhancing replayability as players’ choices lead to different outcomes.

The plot is set in the Witcher universe, where Geralt awakens with no memory in Kaer Morhen, the Witcher stronghold. After an attack on the fortress, Geralt embarks on a quest to retrieve stolen Witcher secrets, navigating complex political and social conflicts. Along the way, he interacts with various characters from the books and must make crucial decisions that influence the story's outcome.

The game was powered by a heavily modified version of BioWare's Aurora Engine, allowing for unique environments and realistic effects. An Enhanced Edition of the game was released in 2008, featuring numerous improvements and additional content. A planned console version was ultimately canceled due to development issues.

The game has some regional censorship.
