Screenshot from Reigns: The Witcher shows a cartoonish depiction of Triss Merigold alongside the text, “Where’s the nearest Lighthouse?” The screenshot is framed in red with the CD PROJEKT RED logo and a “Read More” button printed underneath. Text reads, “Beyond the Game Blog.”

Last week saw the release of Reigns: The Witcher, and we wanted to share how the game came to be in our latest Beyond the Game Blog. But we promise, it’s not as scandalous as the stories told by Dandelion in the game!

Ooh la la! Just when you think you know where they're headed next...

Geralt and Dandelion are out on the town, and their path depends on which way you swipe! Tour Eiffel, Champs Elysées? Where are you taking the adventure next?

I particularly like that map at the centre of the game. It plays on the rich space between known things (as a very finite map with cities referencing our world) and the game mysteries (what is at the end of this tunnel? At the center of this maze? At the end of the line? Under the snow?).

I loved this game. Such a gem. And Transarctica form the same team is excellent.

Don't let her sweetness fool you — Triss Merigold is a force to be reckoned with. 🔥

With experience in both conniving courts and bloody battlefields, Triss surely won't lead Geralt down the wrong path. Right?

In Reigns, every choice you make shifts the balance of four key resources!

Keep them balanced and you might live long enough to enjoy a bath 🛀

Which is probably also why hardware has pushed so much for vr this and vr that. Need a new runway.

I also think you reach physical limits with 4K, be it resolution or physical scale of the monitor, a bit similar to frame rate in the end: a decent sized monitor in HD with solid constant frame rate is a sweet spot.
The graphic race of the 90’ an 00’ has ended there.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one dwelling on negative reviews for years. Although, don’t really understand that first article. Isn’t Frankenstein all about butchery, dismemberment and the consequences of creative rebuilding? It’s sort of a paradoxical praise.

Time to climb! Cairn is available now.

Mount Kami awaits, unconquered.

This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.
