Nerial Studio, the devs behind the acclaimed Reigns series, has teamed up with CD Projekt Red and Revolver Digital to deliver Reigns: The Witcher, a fresh take on the legendary monster-slayer’s story. Scheduled for release on February 25, 2026.
The game adapts the familiar swipe-based mechanics of Reigns into the Witcher universe, allowing players to step into the boots of Geralt of Rivia while navigating moral dilemmas, monster hunts, and political intrigue. The narrative is framed through the ballads of Dandelion, the bard, who recounts Geralt’s exploits with humor and drama, ensuring that every choice carries weight and consequence.
Development of Reigns: The Witcher builds on the success of the original Reigns (2016), which introduced the swipe-left-or-right decision-making mechanic. This new installment expands the formula with thousands of narrative combinations, combat mini-games, and appearances from iconic characters such as Yennefer, Triss, and Vesemir.
The release reflects the growing trend of franchise crossovers into mobile-friendly formats, making complex universes accessible to wider audiences. Personally, the appeal lies in its fusion of The Witcher’s lore with Reigns’ simplicity, which could resonate with both hardcore fans and casual mobile players. The game will be available worldwide on launch day, with no restrictions announced. Pre-registration is already open in the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store, ensuring fans across territories can secure early access.
