The Witcher saga began as a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, chronicling the adventures of Geralt of Rivia in a world steeped in Slavic mythology. Inspired by these books, CD Projekt Red launched the first Witcher video game in 2007. The subsequent games, particularly "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," achieved widespread acclaim and led to numerous spin-offs and collaborations, including a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The highly anticipated "The Witcher 4," featuring a new protagonist, was announced at the 2024 Game Awards.
Netflix joined the Witcher phenomenon in 2019 with its live-action series, which has since completed three seasons starring Henry Cavill. The upcoming fourth season, set to premiere in April, will introduce Liam Hemsworth as Geralt.
