The World of the Witcher
Marcin Batylda · 2015
A large illustrated hardcover told in character: Dandelion and other people Geralt knows take turns describing the Continent's kingdoms, the monsters that live there and the weapons used to deal with them. It's built from the games' own art, so places and creatures look the way you remember them.
What this adds if you've played the games
It's a guide to the world the games show you, from the kingdoms of the North and Nilfgaard to the creatures in your bestiary, told by voices you already know instead of a dry encyclopedia. There's no new story, so it's for browsing between quests rather than reading straight through. It came out alongside Wild Hunt and fits that game best. If you just want more plot, skip it.
Where it fits
- Background forThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
A companion to the world as Wild Hunt shows it, released the same month as the game. It describes places and monsters rather than plot, so it can come before or after.
