About the game
Brace yourself, witcher! The Witcher: Old World – Wild Hunt expansion is here to turn your world upside down, introducing a brand-new cooperative mode and an immersive solo experience. Forget the lonely hunt for trophies; now, you and your fellow witchers will need to join forces to face the fearsome Wild Hunt. Rumors of ghostly riders in the night sky, missing children, and impending plagues are spreading, and the threat is real: warriors from another dimension are on the loose. This expansion radically changes the base game's dynamic. Instead of individual turns, all players move simultaneously across the board, adding an extra layer of collaborative planning and strategy. Meeting another witcher no longer means a duel, but rather an opportunity to train together, exchange gold, potions, and vital information about the monsters lurking in the area. Each round, the Wild Hunt summons new beasts and Hounds, attacking players and moving across the map, keeping the pressure constant. The climax of the adventure? An epic confrontation against one of the Wild Hunt's most powerful warriors, the fearsome Eredin. All witchers participate in this final battle, combining their skills to overcome Eredin's unique and devastating attacks. It's a race against time and a test of teamwork to save the Old World!
