The Witcher: Monster Slayer - Gameplay Trailer
CD Projekt has unveiled the gameplay of its new Witcher mobile game for Android and iOS. The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a monster-hunting RPG in which you take on the role of the Witcher and travel across a continent bringing death to its worst monsters.
The game is developed and published by Spokko, an independent mobile game development studio that became part of the CD Projekt Red group in 2018. Here is the setup for the game:
“Filthy creatures roam the vast lands of the continent, and it falls to those who are known as witchers to hunt them down. Set long before Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher: Monster Slayer is an augmented reality exploration game that challenges you to become an elite monster hunter. See how the world around you has been transformed into the dark fantasy realm of The Witcher and explore once-familiar places now infested with dangerous creatures as you begin your journey as a professional monster slayer."
New gameplay footage shows a sword fight that is somewhat reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls: Blades with blocking and directed sword strikes. But there are also bombs and signs, so you can use the Witcher's full arsenal to counter any fearsome beast you come across.
You can watch the gameplay for yourself below:

Monster Slayer appears to have the same investigative mechanics as The Witcher as you discover clues and follow trails to find your prey. It also looks like there are merchants and NPCs in the game.
We currently don't know when The Witcher: Monster Slayer will release on Android and iOS, but we do know for sure that a release date will be announced later this year. However, if you live in New Zealand, the game is currently running testing on iOS, so be sure to download it.
