‘The Witcher’ season three officially begins filming
The Witcher has started shooting for its third season.A new behind-the-scenes photo taken on the first day of filming has been shared by Netflix, showing Henry Cavill (Geralt of Rivia), Freya Allan (Princess Cirilla of Cintra) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer of Vengerberg) sat on chairs amid a snowy landscape.The logline for the next series reads: “As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it.“Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.”The news follows series protagonist Henry Cavill stopping by a Warhammer store in Nottingham earlier this year, surprising staff and customers in the process.It comes after the Superman actor revealed last December during an interview on The Graham Norton Show that he was a big fan of the tabletop miniature war game.When appearing on the show ahead of the launch of the second season that month, Cavill spoke enthusiastically about his passion for Warhammer.When asked about what he gets up to in his spare time, Norton stated: “You do fly your nerd flag with pride.

Upcoming ‘Witcher’ game will not be “exclusive to one storefront”
CD Projekt Red has announced that the studio’s next mainline The Witcher game will not be exclusive to any particular storefronts, including the Epic Games Store.Yesterday (March 21), the official Twitter account for The Witcher games replied to a user who claimed that the next Witcher game would be an Epic Games Store exclusive at launch.In response, CD Projekt Red shared that it is “not planning on making the game exclusive to one storefront”.The confirmation came on the same day that the studio announced “the next instalment in The Witcher series of video games is currently in development“.This announcement appears to have caused some confusion for fans, as CD Projekt Red’s initial statement mentioned the company going into a “multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games“.However, this collaboration seems strictly limited to helping Epic Games develop Unreal Engine to “help tailor the engine for open-world experiences”.This means that – at least for PC – the next Witcher game may appear on Steam, Epic Games Store and CD Projekt Red’s own storefront, GOG, simultaneously.Though details are incredibly light on what the upcoming game will involve, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that it will use Unreal Engine 5 rather than the studio’s own in-house engine, REDengine.The next Witcher game will also kick off “a new saga for the franchise,” however at the moment “no further details regarding the game – such as development time frame or release date – are available”. In other gaming news, PlayStation has acquired Haven Studios.
