CD Project Red is teaming up with GO ON BOARD to bringThe Witcherfranchise to tabletops with the upcoming competitive adventure board gameThe Witcher: Old World. The RPG adventure game will launch its Kickstarter this spring, and is scheduled for an April 2022 release.
As the name suggests,The Witcher: Old Worldtakes place long beforeGeralt of Rivia’s adventures inThe Witcherseries. The tabletop RPG is tended for two-to-five players who assume the role of professional monster slayers that have recently completed their training from one of the witcher schools: School of Wolf, Viper, Cat, Bear or Griffin. The game tasks players with exploring the Continent as they take on contracts, face terrible beasts, make game-altering choices, and even battle fellow witchers.
