„That would be too much.” CD Projekt Red rejected the dark idea of Reigns: The Witcher creators

by

The gaming community was excited yesterday by the reveal of Reigns: The Witcher, and now we’re learning more details about the game.

  1. In an interview with GamesRadar+, developers from the studio Nerial, working on the game, praised their collaboration with CD Projekt. The company dedicated a lot of time to help the creators adhere to the brand’s realities. To make sure everything’s spot on, every part of the story in Reigns: The Witcher got a thorough check by a bunch of folks from the Polish team.
  2. The creators generally had a lot of freedom, but in some instances, CD Projekt had to intervene when the developers’ imagination went too far. An example given was a scenario where the secrets of the Trial of the Grasses were rediscovered, allowing for the creation of many new witchers and even potentially resurrecting the dead. As the authors put it:

Hordes of zombie witchers would be overkill.

The developers also want to highlight that Reigns: The Witcher will be quite different from other Reigns games. Typically, these games let you play as a monarch making decisions for an entire kingdom. But this time, the story will be much more focused on Geralt and the choices he makes personally.

I’m so excited! Reigns: The Witcher is officially coming to my PC and phone – both iOS and Android! It’s scheduled to launch on February 25, 2026, and I can’t wait to play!
