He's not a bounty hunter, but he kills for money. not a parasite but it has something of a mutant. He is Geralt of Rivia, known to all as El Brujo or The Witcher. It has card games, books, video games, a series that is hitting Netflix and very soon, also an anime movie. It is fully confirmed that The Witcher will have Japanese animation film. We leave you with an excellent recreation made by EvilSmile of a hypothetical opening de The Witcher in anime version:
Without eating or drinking it, the saga The Witcher we have become a global mass phenomenon. The Netflix series, which began as a literary saga in the XNUMXs and was later extended to the video game sector, will have an animated film. silly, The Witcher is positioning itself to be the new Game of Thrones. The new Harry Potter. Or Lord of the Rings. His series on Netflix does nothing but break records and it seems like a matter of time before we get confirmation of a movie with flesh and blood actors.
Like The Lord of the Rings, but the other way around: first the series, then the movie.
The Witcher: The Movie
As with the series, Netflix will handle production on The Witcher movie. We already anticipated a few days ago that Netflix this year has been presented with more desire to spend money than ever. The film will be animated and, more specifically, anime (Japanese animation). Will be called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, and will revolve around "a new threat to the Continent."
It is known that the project will be handled by Studio Mir, known for being responsible for the animation of Legend of Korra. Although no length or release date is known, we could have the anime film of The Witcher very soon between us. Especially if we take into account what was said by the executive producer of The Witcher series, Tomek Baginski, who already anticipated long ago that Netflix was planning "some more surprises between seasons." Would this mean that the movie of The Witcher will premiere before the release of the second season, set for next year?
The witcher: the Netflix series
Premiered in December last year and starring Superman Henry Cavill, the first season of The Witcher It is already the first season of a most watched series in the entire history of Netflix with 76 million viewers. Little joke here. Just remember how quietly it began Game of Thrones enough to get an idea of the promising future that could lie ahead for the series of The Witcher.
Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, was so sure that The Witcher would have a good reception that bought its second season even before the premiere of the first. "We are facing a new franchise that will be developed season by season," has declared.
Three revolutionary video games for PC and consoles
It all started with the PC video game that the Polish studio CD Project RED STUDIO launched with Atari in 2007. The title followed the classic scheme of third-person action always so fashionable (and very The Elder Scrolls, with high doses of blood and role. A second and third part followed. As was also the case with The Elder Scrolls, video games The Witcher they have needed a few deliveries to experiment and perfect. Having said that, The Witcher 3 It is easily one of the best video games of the present generation., even capable of talking face to face with the legendary Skyrim.
The Polish company (also responsible for Cyberpunk 2077, signed a collaboration agreement at the end of December 2019 with the writer responsible for all the books, the Polish Andrzej Sapkowski. Such an agreement could herald the imminent confirmation of the development of The Witcher 4. After its confirmation, this was what the study website published:

CD PROJECT RED – Developer company of the video game saga The Witcher
The first Witcher video game sold 1,2 million units and achieved 90 critics' awards; the second introduced unprecedented graphic realism in 2011, and is recognized by all as the best video game of 2015.
Saga of ten books of Geralt of Rivia
Everything started with the books. as with Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter y Game of Thrones. Because without a good story behind, there is nothing.
In times in which the survival of the book is increasingly questioned due to the incessant appearance of competitors willing to kidnap our attention, concentration and retention capacity, reality continues to confirm that, without a good story behind it, the movies, television and video games would have a shortage of ideas great enough to hurt them to death.
The call Geralt of Rivia Saga or the sorcerer saga It consists of four books originally published in Poland between 1990 and 2013 (in Spain it was necessary to wait until 2002, once the good reception of the saga was confirmed). The history is the same than that of the anime Berserk, or the very Don Quijote de la Mancha: a kind-hearted hero, but excluded from society, has to make his way through a fantastic world inhabited by humans who sometimes prove crueler than any beast.
