CD Projekt Red And Netflix Reveal WitcherCon Schedule

by Rainier on June 28, 2021 @ 9:26 a.m. PDT

CD Projekt Red and Netflix announced the virtual fan event WitcherCon, unveiling the date and first details of their global online celebration of The Witcher franchise.

Taking place on Friday July 9th 2021, WitcherCon is an epic event for Witcher fans old and new, bringing together the worlds of The Witcher video games and the TV series.

Amongst the line up, CD PROJEKT RED will be hosting numerous panels. In Memories from the Path: Stories Behind The Witcher Games, developers and key figures from the creation of The Witcher series of games discuss how they bring stories to life in digital worlds, while also reminiscing about favorite moments — and forgotten relics — from the games. In Monster Slayer: Live the Life of a Witcher, the team at Spokko will help gamers prepare to become a witcher themselves by showing off what their new location-based AR RPG is all about. And The Witcher: Beyond Video Games will contain insight into the creative process behind items from the expanded Witcher universe, including comic books and the upcoming board game — The Witcher: Old World.

All of this will be accompanied by much more content from both CD PROJEKT RED and Netflix, as well as multiple musical performances throughout from composer Marcin Przybyłowicz and folk metal band Percival — who both worked on the award-winning Original Score for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Available on both Twitch and YouTube, WitcherCon will air on July 9th at 7:00 PM CEST. Fans will be able to watch WitcherCon across two separate streams, with each one containing some exclusive content. The second stream, which also airs on Twitch and YouTube, will begin at 03:00 AM CEST on July 10th.

While the event will be filled with content fans are bound to enjoy, in the name of setting appropriate expectations CD PROJEKT RED has informed that no new Witcher game will be announced at WitcherCon.
