THE HISTORY BEHIND YOU

The Continent already has centuries of wars, rivalries, alliances and bloodshed behind it.

The Northern Wars have reshaped kingdoms.
Nilfgaard continues its expansion.
Redania fights for dominance.

Kaedwen carries its own scars.
Skellige clans defend their traditions and compete for influence.

Old decisions matter.

Geralt is not walking into an untouched world.

MORE THAN THE MAIN STORY

The Continent is filled with lives that exist outside the central plot.

A soldier can receive orders from a distant commander.
A merchant can lose a shipment on the road.
A physician can treat wounded villagers.
A fisherman can disappear.
A noble can arrange a marriage.
A criminal can plan a robbery.
A scholar can search for an artifact.
A village can suffer from a curse nobody understands.

A tavern can become a place where rumors spread.
A marketplace can change when trade routes become dangerous.
A family can remain affected by a death long after the event itself.

Geralt can be somewhere else.
Yennefer can be pursuing her own goals.
Triss can have her own obligations.
Dijkstra can be gathering information.
Roche can be dealing with Temerian interests.
Crach can be handling matters in Skellige.
A sorcerer can be making a private bargain.

Famous characters have lives beyond the player.

YOUR LIVING WITCHER WORLD

You can follow the established story.
You can live beside it.
You can interfere with it.
Or you can change it.

A monster can threaten a remote village while the major characters are far away.
A political decision can affect people who never knew it was made.
A road can become dangerous because of events in another region.
A rumor can travel farther than the truth.
A relationship can change because of something that happened days earlier.

Contracts can begin through fear, desperation, greed, revenge or coincidence.

A witness may be wrong.
A client may lie.
A curse may have a human cause.
A monster may not be the real problem.

Your actions can create new situations.
Your failures can leave problems unresolved.
Your choices can affect people who were never part of the original story.

The world reacts, remembers and continues.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THIS IS A SIMULATION

This is not a retelling of Geralt's journey.

The world provides the established characters, locations, factions, monsters, magic, artifacts, history and conflicts.

People continue living outside your presence.
Factions continue pursuing their interests.
Cities continue changing.
Wars continue.
Businesses continue operating.
Relationships continue developing.

A character can leave before you arrive.
A secret can remain hidden.
An enemy can remember you.
An ally can change their mind.
A contract can have consequences after it is finished.
A death can affect people who were nowhere near the event.

You can become part of the great conflicts.

You can avoid them completely.

You can change a known event.
You can create an unknown one.
You can live a small life in a large world.

The Continent keeps moving whether you are there or not.
