Snapshot:

 
  • An anniversary trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been released, presenting a memory-laden look at the game’s story and thanking the game’s community for being a part of this special journey.
  • Geralt’s voice actor Doug Cockle joined the anniversary episode of REDstreams and reminisced on his role as the White Wolf.
  • The Witcher in Concert begins its anniversary celebrations with upcoming concerts in Boston and Poznań ahead of the official tour kickoff at gamescom in August.
  • Further celebrations include a series of 10 artworks from long-time Witcher artists, the release of The Little Witcher, and a collaboration with Embody on the Immerse Gamepack — with more announcements to come!

Originally released 10 years ago on May 19, 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a critically acclaimed open-world role-playing game where players take on the role of monster slayer for hire Geralt as he travels the war-torn Northern Kingdoms in search of his adopted daughter Ciri. With over 50 million copies sold — and over 75 million of the entire Witcher series of games — it has cemented its legacy as a timeless dark fantasy story. The community that has developed around the game since launch continues to grow even a decade later, and to celebrate both The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s enduring legacy and the game’s outstanding community, CD PROJEKT RED released a special trailer.
Celebrations also included an anniversary edition of REDstreams, which took place today and featured Geralt’s voice actor Doug Cockle, alongside English Adaptation Director Borys Pugacz-Muraszkiewicz. The voice actor took a walk down memory lane, reminiscing on his time as the voice of Geralt, his experience with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and how the role has impacted him over the years.
 
The Witcher in Concert is also gearing up to introduce attendees to a one-of-a-kind live event featuring an ensemble orchestra and a blend of cutting-edge visuals and gameplay. Two anniversary celebrations are planned: Boston on May 31 and Poznań on June 15. All of this will lead up to the official tour kickoff at gamescom in Cologne on August 20, with tickets for the European leg of the tour already available for purchase on the official Witcher in Concert website. New dates and locations will be revealed in the future, with newsletter subscribers receiving access to all official pre-sales.


Additional surprises await — including a series of specially commissioned artworks from 10 different artists who have left a mark on The Witcher series, from Przemysław “TRUST” Trusciński, who designed Geralt’s original appearance in the first game, to Grzegorz Przybyś who created artwork for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s opening scenes. All printed on Displate’s signature metal canvas. The artworks will also be available on T-shirts, mugs, and other merchandise.
 

The recently released Immerse Gamepack from Embody also brings personalized spatial audio for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt players, with those who already own the Cyberpunk 2077 Gamepack from Embody receiving a free unlock of the new product.


The world of The Witcher is further expanded by the release of The Little Witcher, a delightful collection of comics written by the creative minds behind the best-selling video game series. It follows the story of Geralt of Rivia as he raises young Ciri in Kaer Morhen, providing a lighthearted twist on a beloved game. Published by Random House Worlds, The Little Witcher is available for purchase in hardcover or ebook formats.

All this is just the beginning of the celebrations — more surprises for the community are yet to be revealed. To stay up to date on the latest announcements, follow The Witcher on Facebook, Instagram, X, Bluesky, and the official website.
