I’m sitting here, thinking back. May 19, 2025. A decade since CD Projekt RED threw The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt out into the world. Honestly, it was like… love at first sight. And not to state the obvious, but yeah, it blew up. Big time. Over 50 million copies by 2023! I mean, wow.
Ten years in, and I can’t help but wander down memory lane. A decade ago, I was, let’s just say, a bit lost. The series though—man, it was my escape. I devoured every book and game, waiting, like a kid before Christmas, for Geralt’s next epic saga.
This was only their third game, but oh boy, it was a beast compared to 2011’s Witcher 2. Huge, sprawling landscapes, intense monster contracts, and big names from the books like Ciri—finally! I remember clinging to every shred of news… maybe obsessively—for real.
When I finally got to play, it was like magic. Secrets around every corner, and choices that weighed on you. That Bloody Baron story—oof, still gives me chills. Geralt finding Ciri again, after so long… goosebumps.
The expansions, too, were pure gold. Hearts of Stone felt like some twisted fairy tale, and Blood and Wine was like, this epic vampire adventure. Could have been its own thing, if you ask me.
Games that try to hit you in the feels can either nail it or just… flop. The Witcher 3? It got me. It’s tied to some tough patches in my life, and maybe because of that, it just… lasts.
If you missed out on this, why are you still waiting? Seriously!
Sure, CD Projekt RED has other hits like Cyberpunk 2077, but The Witcher 3? That’s their crown jewel. The updates just keep making it shine brighter.
And you know what? I hope they remember this magic when they craft The Witcher 4. Ciri being in the spotlight is exciting—she’s got so much to offer! I mean, there’s loads of time until it drops—2027, maybe?—but if it’s like The Witcher 3, where everything clicks? I’ll be over the moon.
Meanwhile, guess I’ll wander down the Path again. You can find The Witcher 3 across all the consoles and PCs now. If you haven’t played it, give it a whirl. Trust me.
