Fans of the critically acclaimed fantasy action-RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, released in 2015, are in for a treat: its iconic soundtrack is set to come alive on stage! CD Projekt Red has collaborated with RoadCo Entertainment and GEA Live to launch “The Witcher in Concert” – an expansive tour across 45 cities in the United States, promising an unforgettable musical odyssey inspired by Geralt of Rivia`s legendary adventures.
An Immersive Musical Journey
This special concert series will be conducted by Heidi Joosten and features a dynamic 15-piece ensemble. A major highlight for fans will be the participation of Percival Schuttenbach, the renowned Polish folk metal band whose distinctive sound significantly contributed to the game`s atmosphere. The performances will showcase a unique arrangement of The Witcher 3`s score, meticulously crafted by Paulina Porszke and Nikola Kołodziejczyk, under the direct guidance of the game`s co-composer, Marcin Przybyłowicz.
Concert-goers can anticipate a truly immersive experience, combining the power of live orchestral and folk music with stunning cinematics and “immersive visuals” directly from the game. This fusion aims to transport the audience back to “Geralt of Rivia’s bold, emotional journey across the Continent.”

The Expanding Witcher Universe
Beyond this exciting concert series, the world of The Witcher continues to flourish with new projects. A new board game exploring the franchise`s rich lore was recently unveiled, and CD Projekt Red is also deeply immersed in the development of The Witcher 4. Initial glimpses, including an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo, hint at the next installment`s impressive visual fidelity. The studio has emphasized a commitment to deep, engaging storytelling, moving away from repetitive fetch quests, and aims for players to “fully embrace” Ciri as the game`s central protagonist.
