New The Witcher board game follows the downfall of Geralt's school

"The Witcher 4 won't arrive until at least 2027, 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. A cooperative adventure game for one to four players, The Witcher: Legacy 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."

"As of today, you can pledge your support for Legacy on Gamefound. "Over the years of working on The Witcher board games, we've built a huge and incredibly engaged fanbase," game designer and Go On Board co-founder Łukasz Woźniak said in a statement. "We've been working on The Witcher: Legacy 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.""

""We're thrilled to be collaborating with Go On Board again on a board game project," CD Projekt Red vice president of business development Jan Rosner said in a statement. "It's a fantastic opportunity for us to expand a universe beloved by many and dive deeper into events that haven't yet been fully explored in the games or books." The destruction of the School of the Wolf was previously explored in Netflix's anime The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which followed Geralt of Rivia's mentor Vesemir."

The Witcher: Legacy is now crowdfunding on Gamefound as a cooperative adventure for one to four players. The game centers on events leading to the fall of the School of the Wolf and places players in the roles of witchers unraveling a conspiracy against their order. Gameplay includes monster combat, exploration of Kaedwen, and a branching narrative with multiple scenarios. Development involved three years of community-focused design work by Go On Board and collaboration with CD Projekt Red. The project follows The Witcher: Old World and ties into established Witcher lore, including the destruction depicted in Nightmare of the Wolf.
