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.
It will feature a variety of entertaining and interactive panels spotlighting the people who brought The Witcher to life in-game and on-screen. There will also be breaking news, exclusive behind the scenes, and never-before-seen reveals from across The Witcher franchise.
Attendees will have intimate looks into the creativity and production behind CD Projekt Red’s games, including the upcoming mobile game The Witcher: Monster Slayer, comic books and fan gear, and Netflix’s live-action series, The Witcher, plus merchandise, as well as the anime film Nightmare of the Wolf. Lastly, Witcher fans can also delve deeper with expert explorations into the lore, legends, monsters, and origins of the Continent.
Don’t expect a new Witcher game to be announced, though, as the website clearly states that there will be no new game reveals during the event.
Available on both Twitch and YouTube, WitcherCon will first air on July 9th at 7:00 PM CEST. Fans will be able to watch WitcherCon across two separate streams, with each one containing exclusive content. The second stream, which also airs on Twitch and YouTube, will begin at 03:00 AM CEST on July 10th.
