Deep dives with devs and Henry Cavill chatting about good old Geralt

The video game and Netflix versions of Geralt back-to-back in art for WitcherCon.

When WitcherCon was first announced last month, I very much thought it would be some silly thing to capitalise on the success ofNetflix’s The Witcherseries (and, I mean, it still kinda is). But now the full schedule has been revealed, it actually sounds like a pretty good time. On the 9th and 10th of July, the virtual Witcher-themed event will hold panels with the likes of Henry Cavill, chatting about deep lore, trivia, quizzes and updates on the upcoming Witcher TV shows.

On both days, a panel named “Geralt Of T-Rivia” will be taking place, which is just a fabulous pun. It’ll be a pub quiz-style game featuring The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Blood Origin (the upcoming prequel series) showrunner Declan De Barra, and more.

Other highlights include a deep dive into the lore of Kaer Morhen (the Witcher training castle), a spotlight panel with Henry Cavill chatting about playing good old Geralt, stories from developers about working on the fantasy RPG games, “breaking news” from the Netflix series, as well as some sort of guide to playing Gwent. I’ll, uh, be watching that last one. I still don’t understand that damn card game.

You’ll be able to catch WitcherCon live via Netflix’sYouTubeandTwitch channels, or CDPR’sYouTubeandTwitch channels. On July 9th, the stream starts at 6pm BST (10am PT), then for us in the UK the second stream takes place at 2am BST on July 10th (which is 6pm PT on the 9th still for folks across the pond).
