This is The Witcher game for Android and iPhone

CD Projekt Red continues to pull the thread of The Witcher to the delight of fans of this saga of adventures, wizardry, and monsters. Especially monsters. And it is that they have just presented The Witcher: Monster Slayer, an Augmented Reality game that will soon be available for both Android phones and iPhones. A title in which you will become a true sorcerer, smashing left and right against all kinds of creatures already seen in video games.

The development is carried out by Spokko, a subsidiary of CD Projekt Red. In other words, a team of those who created the video game saga and that has recently worked on this mobile game. And yes, using Augmented Reality has a lot to do with Pokémon GO In fact, the gameplay shown leaves several scenes with virtual maps and Augmented Reality fights that They are very reminiscent of capturing Pokémon. Of course it seems that the gaming experience is somewhat different.

Without too many details at the moment

So far we know that the game will mix our reality with maps from The Witcher universe. Thus, while we walk through the streets of our cities or towns we can meet the usual fauna of video games: spirits of the forest, werewolves, apparitions, large insects, dragons...

As seen in the images, all you have to do is click on the monster that appears on the virtual map to start the real battle.Here we will go to the view with Augmented Reality, planting the monster in our real environment. That's when the action comes. And it is that the view is in the first person, being able to see our sword as if we were holding it ourselves There will be actions, gestures and potions to be able to attack and defend ourselves. Although this is where information is missing.

There is also talk of missions and different types of events that will be displayed directly on the map. No more details. Only that the action of the game is located before what is known in video games. A kind of prequel to immerse us fully in the world of witches and the wild animals that they usually hunt for a few coins.

No official departure date

Spokko's announcement also comes without an official date. A “soon” message (soon in English in the videos) leaves us waiting for more information and details. However, it is believed that the game could be announced by the end of this year 2020.

What is known is that it will land on both Android phones as well as iOS. So it will have to fight against other Augmented Reality games that have tried to revive the success of Pokémon GO in their own flesh. Arduous task according to what has been seen.

Do you remember the Ghostbusters game? And what about Jurassic Park? Surely you still remember having downloaded the Harry Potter game from the same creators of Pokémon GO. But the most likely thing is that you have already forgotten about all these games. Fun and different but demanding experiences for the player. And it is that moving around your environment, and more in times of the coronavirus, seems to be an arduous task as well as dangerous. Much tougher problems than the monsters themselves in The Witcher: Monster Slayer. It will be necessary to see what its key is and what distinguishes it from other games of the same genre to see if it will succeed when it is published for all users.We will be very attentive.
