The Witcher: Path of Destiny Explores the Games and Books
Path of Destiny serves as a sequel to The Witcher: The Old World, another fantastic game by Go On Board. In this immersive experience, players assume the roles of beloved characters such as Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Vesemir, and Dandelion. Thanks to the overwhelming support, Go On Board has unlocked Triss Marigold as a playable character. According to the Gamefund profile, Path of Destiny delves into captivating stories from CD Projekt Red’s games and the books penned by Andrzej Sapkowski.
In this thrilling game, 1 to 5 players embark on one of four different tales. Initially, Path of Destiny offered three tales: Striga, Edge of the World, and Lesser Evil. However, thanks to reaching a stretch goal, a fourth tale called Grain of Truth has been added. Each tale introduces unique twists to the game’s rules and mechanics, ensuring an engaging and unpredictable experience.
Excitingly, The Witcher: Path of Destiny also includes rules for solo play in the Grain of Truth tale. In this mode, players can bring Geralt along as a companion. With the stretch goals achieved, the game now offers new upgrades for solo play and the option to journey with Ciri, Vesemir, Yennefer, or Dandelion.
The first wave of the game, featuring the English version, is scheduled to ship in December 2024. Three months later, a second wave with versions in other languages will be launched, allowing even more fans to enjoy this incredible gaming experience.
