Today, Nerial and Devolver Digital have teamed up with CD PROJEKT RED to release Reigns: The Witcher, a dark-fantasy take on the Reigns series, for PC and mobile platforms. The game is standalone, and priced at $5.99.
Step into the muddy boots of professional monster slayer Geralt of Rivia — but this time, from a different perspective. Throughout CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher series of games, players have followed Geralt’s adventures on the Path. Now, in Reigns: The Witcher, the legends take on a life of their own through the gilded tongue of Geralt’s oldest friend: Dandelion the bard. Every choice is a verse, every misstep a stanza and every bath an opportunity for a ballad.
Swipe Your Destiny
From contracts and conspiracies to angry villagers and hotheaded sorceresses, your decisions carry weight across the Continent. A casual swipe left or right may win you renown among nobles, enrage a rabble of mages or leave you knee-deep in drowners. As any good witcher knows, few requests are as simple as they first appear.
Familiar Faces, Tall Tales
Along the Path you’ll find the company of Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir and a roster of other beloved allies and adversaries. But remember: when filtered through Dandelion’s quill, even the most mundane of errands can become an audacious epic — or a slightly exaggerated disaster.
Songs, Swords, and Swipes
Players will weave Geralt’s legend through branching stories, bardic embellishments and thousands of narrative combinations, with Dandelion himself conducting the chorus of fate. Between verses, the White Wolf still gets plenty of work done: combat minigames pit Geralt against drowners, rotfiends and other foes both real and curiously improvised.
The Bard’s Encore
From taverns to far-flung villages, Reigns: The Witcher invites players to expand Dandelion’s ever-growing repertoire. Perform new “greatest hits” across the land, twist familiar stories into fresh tales and shape the saga of the White Wolf — in ways both dramatic and absurd — on your quest for lyrical immortality.
Whether you’re crafting an epic for the ages or just trying not to drown in a swamp, Reigns: The Witcher will offer a new perspective on one of gaming’s most storied heroes — one swipe, one song and one scandal at a time.

I've never heard of the Reigns series before now, but just based on that sleek art style I might check this and the main games out. I love the characters of The Witcher too, whether that's the books, games, or TV show, so this seems like a great place to start for new players.
