Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Announcement Notes

It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since The Witcher series’ last installment, as Geralt of Rivia embarks on yet another band of quests involving returning characters such as Yennefer, Ciri and Vesemir. We’ll assume you’re pretty up to speed with the Witcher, so we’ll jump into some pretty exciting stuff coming up.

So far, CD Projekt Red has officially announced these events occurring in celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary:

• Anniversary Trailer: A new trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrates the game's legacy and thanks its community.

• Doug Cockle Interview: Doug Cockle, the voice actor for Geralt of Rivia joined a special REDstreams episode to reflect on his role.

• Borys Pugacz-Muraszkiewicz (English adaptation director for The Witcher) joined in on the fun as well.

• The Witcher in Concert: Anniversary concerts will take place in Boston and Poznań, with a full tour starting at gamescom in August.

• Boston on May 31 and Poznań on June 15, official tour kickoff at gamescom in Cologne on August 20

• Additional Celebrations: These include 10 new artworks by veteran Witcher artists, the release of The Little Witcher, and a collaboration with Embody on the Immerse Gamepack, with more to come.

• Most excitingly, The Little Witcher is a comic book series that expands upon some of the events that we see in the introduction to The Witcher 3, such that we observe Geralt of Rivia as he raises young Ciri in Kaer Morhen.

We also shouldn’t forget that it’s likely that more will be announced not only in terms of content adjacent to The Witcher 3, but also the upcoming Witcher 4 game also being developed by CD Projekt Red. It’s gonna be a pretty exciting ride for Witcher fans in the next few upcoming months!

Trailer Analysis

As fans of The Witcher 3, we didn’t really notice too much that stood out about the trailer in terms of new content. 

However, it’s pretty clear that Witcher/CD Projekt Red fans are still easily convinced that The Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time. The outpouring of support for the game has led developers to respond to a lot of comments talking about how the game has helped them through some rough times in their life, as well as just general praise for the series.

In honor of the life-changing game’s 10th anniversary, we’d like to take this section in highlighting some of these super heartfelt comments on the trailer’s YouTube page and awfully thoughtful responses from a game studio we already know and love - it genuinely is really cool seeing this sort of interaction happen. 

 

“After a brain surgery that lasted more than sixteen hours, I woke up unable to walk and with difficulty moving my left hand. [...]. At first, I could barely control Roach and had to relearn how to play using the joystick. With time, I started to get better, began walking again, and almost one year later, I got the platinum trophy on PS4. When the PS5 version was released, I earned the platinum again. Playing it all over again made me remember the pain, the challenges, and most of all, the victories. It may not be the best game in the world for many people, but for me, it is the greatest of all.” -@samaronee 

CD Projekt Red’s reply: “Congratulations on your recovery and the platinum. We're honored to be a part of it.”

 

“10 years of killing monsters , 10 years of how about a round gwent , 10 years of wind's howling , 10 years of team Triss or Yen , 10 years of Roach spawning in random places , 10 years of looking for Ciri , 10 YEARS OF THE GREATEST RPG EVER MADE !” -@sujandhar6613

 

“10 years. Still one of the greatest video games ever made” -@tornado6911

 

Well said.

Conclusion

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it's clear that the game has left an enduring legacy—not just as a critically acclaimed RPG, but as a deeply personal experience for countless players around the world.

From touching community stories to exciting new events like The Witcher in Concert and The Little Witcher comic series, CD Projekt Red is honoring the game’s decade-long journey in meaningful ways. While the anniversary trailer might not tease much in terms of new content, the heartfelt exchanges between fans and developers serve as a powerful reminder of the impact this game has had over the years. 

And with whispers of The Witcher 4 on the horizon, the path ahead looks just as thrilling as the one we've walked with Geralt so far. Here's to ten years of monster-slaying, Gwent-playing, and unforgettable storytelling—and to many more yet to come.
