In The Witcher players take the role of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer who exists on the fringes of a complex society afflicted by the kind of problems more commonly found on the front pages of newspapers than in a fantasy universe.

His is a path he might not choose to walk, but walk it he must, guided by his head, heart and only faithful companion – his sword.
