The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a game loved and lauded by countless gamers and fans of RPG’s as one of the epitomes of the genre. It’s a massive game and you can spend many hours as Geralt of Rivia, slaying monsters and going about his business of helping people that tosses him coins. The only thing that annoyed me …
Netflix and game developer CD Projeckt Red have announced Witchercon, a virtual online convention to celebrate and look behind the scenes for both the video game franchise and on-screen adaptations.
