The World of The Witcher Is Coming to Unmatched in 2024
CD PROJEKT RED and Restoration Games partner to bring Geralt of Rivia and more to the award-winning card-battling game.
Sunrise, FL – November 29, 2023. Today, Restoration Games announced two upcoming sets for the Unmatched game line, featuring heroes from the exciting world of The Witcher video game series. The two sets are titled “Steel and Silver” and “Realms Fall”. Each set will include three playable hero decks and two unique battlefields. In addition to the White Wolf himself, fans of The Witcher will be thrilled to: lead Ciri to her destiny as the Lady of Space and Time, quaff a Tawny Owl potion, and race across the battlements of Kaer Morhen to stalk your foe.
“In our ongoing mission to bring the most exciting worlds to the Unmatched line, we went after this license like, well, a witcher on the trail of a fearsome foe,” said Justin D. Jacobson, president of Restoration Games. “The Witcher brings so much to the game: a rich fantasy setting, unique heroes, and some of the best villains Unmatched has ever seen.”
“At the risk of sounding cliché, working with Restoration on The Witcher: Unmatched was as refreshing as a salty Skelligan breeze. The team put great care and attention to detail into not only representing the lore of The Witcher, but actively ensuring each set was simultaneously accurate and innovative, ambitious and inundated by intrigue,” said Cian Maher, Franchise & Lore Designer, CD PROJEKT RED. “Seeing our heroes and villains reimagined so well to fit the Unmatched framework was a pleasure. Players will definitely connect with Restoration’s spin on these beloved Witcher characters when they get their hands on the game.”
The sets are slated for release later in 2024.
