Explained simply
The Witcher began as a series of fantasy books by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, centred on Geralt, a monster hunter known as a witcher. The books inspired video games from Polish studio CD Projekt Red and a television adaptation, bringing the setting and characters to audiences in different formats.
Board games are another way to explore the series: The Witcher: Old World is an existing game in which players take on the role of witchers. The new campaign-based game and its planned expansion connect to that tabletop branch of the franchise, with settings, creatures and themes drawn from the wider Witcher world.
