News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 2 Sep 2020 8 comments Back in the halcyon days of, uh, last week, CD Projekt revealed it would be bringing the Witcher-y world of Geralt and friends to iOS and Android in the form of a free-to-play, augmented-reality "location-based RPG". What it didn't do, however, was show much in the way of gameplay, but the studio has now remedied that with a brisk new trailer. The Witcher: Monster Slayer, as the mobile game is officially known, is the work of developer Spokko, and serves a prequel to the existing Witcher games. Players, in the role of a fledging Witcher, must scour the untamed Continent in order to track, study, and battle creatures "both new and familiar", with much of the action superimposed onto a corrupted version of the real-world through the technological wizardry of AR.

At least some of the above, plus a few snippets of overworld traversal, get an airing in CD Projeckt's latest trailer, and its imposing AR monsters do, in fairness, look pretty cool. Elsewhere, The Witcher: Monster Slayer promises "rich, story-driven quests" and "full-fledged adventures" that draw on previous Witcher titles, and CD Projekt says it'll share more details on the game's iOS and Android launch later this year.
