The Witcher 4<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>won’t arrive\u00a0until at least 2027<\/a>, but in the meantime, studio CD Project Red is working with Go On Board to create a new board game based on the hit series.\u00a0The Witcher: Legacy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is a follow-up to 2023’s\u00a0The Witcher: Old World<\/em>, which was one of the biggest tabletop crowdfunding campaigns of all time. As of today, you can pledge your support for\u00a0Legacy<\/em>\u00a0on\u00a0Gamefound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years of working on The Witcher board games, we\u2019ve built a huge and incredibly engaged fanbase,\u201d game designer and Go On Board co-founder \u0141ukasz Wo\u017aniak said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on The Witcher: Legacy<\/em> for over three years, during which our main focus has been listening to the needs and expectations of our community, to create the biggest and best Witcher experience a board game can offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cooperative adventure game for one to four players, The Witcher: Legacy <\/em>will focus on the events that led to the fall of the School of the Wolf. Players will take on the role of witchers seeking to unravel the conspiracy against their order, fighting monsters and exploring the kingdom of Kaedwen through a branching narrative featuring multiple scenarios.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re thrilled to be collaborating with Go On Board again on a board game project,\u201d CD Projekt Red vice president of business development Jan Rosner said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic opportunity for us to expand a universe beloved by many and dive deeper into events that haven\u2019t yet been fully explored in the games or books.\u201d<\/p>\n

The destruction of the School of the Wolf was previously explored in Netflix\u2019s anime The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf<\/em><\/a>, which followed Geralt of Rivia\u2019s mentor Vesemir. Hopefully that means Vesemir will also be a playable character in the board game like he is in Go On Board\u2019s The Witcher: Path of Destiny<\/a><\/em>, a competitive game released earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Go On Board also worked with CD Projekt Red on their highly successful adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a>, which raised over $9.5 million in crowdfunding, and is developing on a board game based on the Tekken fighting game franchise<\/a>.<\/p>\n
