Johannesburg - The largely popular Netflix series ’The Witcher’ is getting a monster-hunting AR spinoff for mobile.
Monster Slayer is an augmented reality game for iOS and Android. It features console-grade visuals, various challenges for players to explore the world around them while tracking, studying, and fighting monsters both new and old.
“We’re happy to announce The Witcher: Monster Slayer a free-to-play, augmented reality, location-based RPG for iOS and Android developed and published by Spokko, member of the CD PROJEKT Family,” said the press release.
The game uses real-time weather conditions and players can use the time of day to their advantage while fighting monsters. Players can also brew powerful potions and oils, craft bombs and monster bait as well as an upgrade to their character’s skills and equipment.
In addition to battling monsters, the game also contains rich and story-driven quests that will take you on full-fledged adventures on your way to becoming a professional monster slayer.
Following the success of Netflix live-action series, the news came in earlier this year that The Witcher franchise was working on two different spinoffs - an anime and a live-action prequel film.
The anime film from Korean animation house Studio Mir. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will explore ‘a powerful new threat facing the Continent’. While the second spinoff is a live-action prequel called The Witcher: Blood Origin, the 6 part series will take place ‘1200 years before Geralt of Rivia’.
Fans will have to wait a little bit longer as no dates have been released yet but The Witcher Moster Slayer will be available both on iOS and Android.
