Reigns: The Witcher has been announced by indie publisher Devolver Digital, in collaboration with CD Projekt Red.
This card-based take on The Witcher features the familiar Reigns gameplay formula where players draw random opportunities and encounters then swipe left or right to choose what to do next (yes, exactly like a dating app).
Today’s reveal trailer features plenty of familiar faces from The Witcher franchise who will be familiar to fans of CD Projekt’s existing trilogy of RPG titles, including Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir, Dandelion, The Bloody Baron, Roach and… Maisy the Cow? We’re less sure about that last one.
Here, Geralt’s quests are retold as plays by Dandelion, who holds the hero’s fate in his hands. Whether sticking to the facts or stretching the truth, you’ll need to keep Geralt’s infamy in balance to ensure your run continues for as long as possible. And while your adventures with Geralt are likely to end in many deaths, each run will reward you with songbooks to perform on ever grander stages in the hope of ultimately reaching narrative immortality.
Reigns: The Witcher is developed by Reigns series developer Nerial, and set for launch on February 25 for PC via Steam and on mobile via Google Play and the iPhone App Store.
The release of Reigns: The Witcher this spring feels well-timed, amid a temporary lull in the launch of CD Projekt’s bestselling series. The Witcher 4 is currently in “full production”, its developer has said, but won’t be ready in time for 2026. When it does arrive, however, CD Projekt has planned an ambitious six-year roadmap in which it will also launch The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6. And before all of that, whispers abound that there’s one final adventure coming to The Witcher 3 — though nothing, as yet, has been officially announced.
