Geralt finds Yennefer again, and she brings news: Ciri, the girl he raised as a daughter, has been seen on the Continent, and the Wild Hunt is on her trail. While Nilfgaard's armies push into the North, he follows her tracks through war-ravaged Velen, the free city of Novigrad and the Skellige Isles, a long open-world game packed with side quests and contracts.
