After all, The Witcher: Monster Slayer is an AR game cut from a similar cloth to Pokémon Go or Minecraft Earth, and provides players with a daily slice of Witcher-ey goodness … “Foul creatures roam the Continent — it’s your job to become the monster slayer, track prey lurking nearby and take them down with your sword in augmented reality!” Spokko says in the teaser trailer released for the AR game.

The first-person RPG lets players assume the guise of a “witcher” monster-killer. Last year, CD Projekt Red reached a settlement with Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of the original “Witcher” (“Wiedźmin”) books and short stories on which the games and Netflix series are based, after Sapkowski took legal action to demand additional royalties from the games company.
“The Witcher” has blossomed into a multimedia franchise, including the popular Netflix series starring Henry Cavill as the legendary witcher Geralt of Rivia.

Players will have to figure out how to use time of day and local weather conditions to gain the upper hand in tracking and killing monsters, as well as “brew powerful potions and oils, craft bombs and monster bait.” “The Witcher: Monster Slayer” also will feature “story-driven quests” inspired by other games from the series, according to the game developer.
