CD Projekt Kicks Off The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary With Celebratory Streams Ahead of Concert Tour

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, and developer CD Projekt is already giving fans a taste of the concerts, merch, and more it has in store.

The third Witcher video game undeniably left an impression on gamers when it launched May 19, 2015, so the studio behind it is pulling out all the stops to make sure today’s milestone feels special. Included in its list of festivities are videos that fondly look back at The Witcher 3 as well as special events and unique merch.

It all starts with the trailer, below, celebrating the series’ monster-hunting protagonist, Geralt, highlighting some of his most memorable moments as fans are treated to actor Doug Cockle’s gravelly delivery. It’s not quite a Witcher 4 update, but it does do a good job of reminding viewers of what made The Witcher 3 so special in the first place.

Meanwhile, Cockle joined the latest installment in CD Projekt Red’s REDstreams to reminisce about the 20 years he’s spent providing his voice for the English version of Geralt while sharing how he helped shape the White Wolf.

If you’re looking to join in on The Witcher 3’s 10th anniversary celebration, CD Projekt has further outlined its plans to bring The Witcher concerts to fans this summer. The first is in Boston at the Emerson Colonial Theater, come May 31, with the second following in Poland at Poznan’s Sala Ziemi. Tickets for both events, as well as the European leg of an upcoming tour, are available now, and more tour dates will be revealed in the future.

CD Projekt said more surprises, including art from 10 different Witcher artists, are on the way in the form of a Displate collaboration, T-shirts, and mugs. The vibrant The Little Witcher comic series and Embody’s Immerse Gamepack, which were both recently released, are also included in CD Projekt’s recommended list of goodies for fans looking to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3. More details about what to expect will be revealed in the near future.

Each item, stream, and event will help die-hard fans celebrate the critically acclaimed 2015 RPG, but it should also help with the wait for The Witcher 4. Since pulling back the curtain on the Ciri-focused follow-up at The Game Awards 2024, CD Projekt has (mostly) kept its head down when it comes to its progress. It’s not scheduled to arrive for quite a while, so don’t expect any serious updates anytime soon.
