Go On Board and CD PROJEKT RED have officially confirmed what Witcher fans have been whispering about for months: The Witcher: Legacy finally has a launch date – and it’s sooner than anyone expected.
The upcoming board game, developed by Go On Board in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED, will hit Gamefound on November 25, kicking off what’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest crowdfunding events of the year. With over 60k eager followers and a rapidly growing global audience, excitement around the project has been building at a breakneck pace.
Alongside the date announcement
The team also revealed the game’s full lineup of language editions including English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Czech, and Spanish. Confirming a truly worldwide release right from the start. For an IP as massive as The Witcher, that’s a smart move – and it signals a campaign designed to hit hard on day one.
This marks the third Witcher-universe board game collaboration between Go On Board and CD PROJEKT RED. Their previous entry, The Witcher: Old World, became a breakout tabletop hit, selling over 192,000 copies worldwide, placing it firmly in the global bestseller category. With that kind of history, expectations for Legacy are sky-high – and Go On Board knows it.
Core Mechanics
- The game is scenario-driven. Players take on roles of survivors from the Kaer Morhen Massacre and embark on a campaign where their decisions really matter.
- Exploration is a featured phase: moving around a map, conducting tests, filling out a travel log, discovering story elements.
- Combat is distinct: the team states there will be monster hunts, and these encounters will shift depending on what you’ve done.
- Legacy-style mechanics: changes across sessions, branching narrative, decisions carry weight and impact what’s coming.
What sets it apart (and what to watch)
- Since it’s a legacy campaign, expect permanent changes: memory of choices, story branches, evolving map/story. That means you can’t treat each session as totally fresh.
- The “exploration” phase isn’t just fluff – there are meaningful actions beyond “move, fight, win”. For example you might engage in tests, trigger story events, log travel journeys.
- Choices made earlier influence how encounters play out.
- On the flip side: because of the heavy narrative + campaign structure, the replay-value might shift depending on how many branches you explore.
More details expected as the November 25 launch approaches. Stretch goals, miniatures, gameplay reveals, and component deep-dives are all likely to surface in rapid succession once the campaign goes live.
Early Backer Gift
“Early followers and supporters will also receive an exclusive Gorgon miniature, a collectible follow gift symbolizing the dangerous monsters that await across the Continent. From exclusive rewards to behind-the-scenes insights, following now ensures fans won’t miss a single reveal as this ambitious project enters its most exciting phase.”
Given the sheer momentum behind it – and the tabletop community’s appetite for more Witcher content – The Witcher: Legacy is shaping up to be one of the most significant crowdfunding events of the year.
We’ll be following the campaign closely. If this one takes off like Old World did, Geralt may have a new reason to toss a coin.
