The Witcher
CD Projekt Red's dark-fantasy RPG trilogy, adapted from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and built around Geralt of Rivia's morally grey world.
The Witcher is the rare long-running RPG series where each entry is visibly a leap on the last. The original game was rough, ambitious, and unmistakably itself. The Witcher 2 sharpened it into a proper AA RPG with political weight. The Witcher 3 — and its two expansions — pushed the whole genre forward, making side content as substantial as main stories and cementing "morally grey quest design" as a serious benchmark.
What makes the series distinct isn't its combat or its open world. It's the writing. Sapkowski's books give the games a worldview where there are rarely clean wins, witchers are distrusted outsiders, and every quest deals with people's failures as much as monsters' teeth.
With The Witcher 4 on the horizon at CD Projekt Red, the hub covers both the trilogy's legacy and what the next chapter will have to contend with.
