The Witcher: Legacy is coming to players in summer 2027, but this time it's not a video game. Licensed by CD Projekt Red and published by Poland’s Go On Board, this campaign-based board game has already raised over 10 million euros through crowdfunding, making it one of the most talked-about side projects in the franchise.

What is The Witcher: Legacy?

Legacy is a campaign-driven board game made up of interconnected scenarios played over multiple sessions. The "legacy" in its name means your major decisions are recorded, and cards, boards, and maps change permanently as you play. Every group will craft their own unique story.

The game supports one to four players, playable solo or in co-op. Completing the full campaign is expected to take between 25 and 35 hours. A multilingual companion app with full voice narration will guide you through the story.

The Story: Before Geralt

The game is set long before the era of Geralt of Rivia. Kaer Morhen has been attacked, most of the Wolf School witchers have perished, and the survivors are on a quest to uncover who was behind the assault. Who you trust is up to you. Your journey will take you across Kaedwen, the Northern Kingdoms, and even to the Ban Ard mage academy.

For fans, the fall of the Wolf School has always been a background event in the books and games. Turning it into a playable adventure makes this board game much more than just another licensed product.

Gameplay: Decks, Alchemy, and Lasting Choices

• Combat: Build your own fighting deck of combo cards for unique battles.
• Progression: Level up your witcher’s skills and expand your alchemy book with new potions and bombs.
• Legacy system: Your major choices are recorded and will permanently affect future sessions.

Early reviewers note that the learning curve is steep, setup takes time, and replay value may be limited after finishing the campaign. But for groups looking for a long-term adventure, this may not be a drawback.
