The Witcher: Monster Slayer Announced for Mobile

While CD Projekt Red is busy polishing up the release of Cybperunk 2077, branch developer Spokko is bringing us back to the world of The Witcher with their new mobile game. Check out the announce trailer for The Witcher: Monster Slayer

Slayer:

The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a location-based augmented-reality RPG that challenges you to become a professional monster hunter. Venture out into the world around you and use your mobile device to track witcher-world monsters that roam close-by. Track these monsters and prepare for combat using time of day, weather conditions, and your witcher knowledge to gain an advantage on your quest to becoming an elite monster slayer.

While we don’t get any specifics on gameplay, it actually looks just like Pokemon GO, but rather than capture monsters, you have to slay them. What’s more, they aren’t cute and cuddly, but rather horrific and monstrous.

A lot of countries are still in quarantine thanks to COVID-19 and some fans are unsure about a game that’s going to encourage you to go outside. Hopefully by the time this game launches, we’ll be a lot closer to how things were before the pandemic.

Besides monster hunting, some fans are wondering if Monster Slayer has some elements brought in from the actual Witcher game—particularly the option to challenge other players for a round of Gwent.

We don’t know exactly what’s in store yet, but Spokko needs to add some more gimmicks so as not to make this game more than just ‘Scary Pokemon GO’

No release date has been set for The Witcher: Monster Slayer, but it will be available for iOS and Android.
