This new venture promises to delve deeper into the Continent with Geralt tackling new challenges alongside familiar faces.

In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that, "While the pairing of Cockle’s Geralt and Joey Batey’s Jaskier has its charms, only diehards will appreciate the appeal of this Witcher crossover."

What Else Is in The Witcher Universe?

The Witcher universe began with a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, centered around the monster hunter Geralt in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. The novels inspired the video game series developed by CD Projekt Red, which started with the first Witcher game in 2007. The critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expanded the franchise's reach, leading to various spin-offs, including a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The announcement of The Witcher 4 and its new protagonist at the 2024 Game Awards has fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Netflix joined the Witcher saga in 2019, producing three seasons of its live-action series, with Henry Cavill starring as Geralt. The fourth season, featuring Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt, is set to premiere in April.
