Leak Says Free-to-Play Co‑op Witcher ARPG Targets PC and Mobile

Report says the game centers on player-created Witchers taking contract hunts in 1230, testing CD Projekt Red's approach to live-service monetization.

Overview

  • A mid-June leak first published by MP1st and picked up by multiple outlets claims CD Projekt Red is developing an unannounced free-to-play, cooperative action RPG set in The Witcher universe.
  • The report says the game is set in the year 1230 and lets players create customizable Witchers who accept monster-hunting contracts across familiar biomes.
  • Gameplay details in the leak describe a skill-focused combat loop built around timed blocks, dodges, parries, Signs and potions rather than simple stat-based attacks.
  • Sources say the project currently targets PC and mobile, is likely a live-service title, and may involve an external partner though CD Projekt Red has not confirmed the report or the studio involved.
  • Reaction from fans is mixed, with some excited by cooperative hunts and others worried about free-to-play monetization and how a mobile-first live service would fit Witcher canon; CD Projekt Red's prior comments about its Scopely deal suggest any mobile product may not appear in 2026.
