The Witcher: Path of Destiny Explores the Games and Books
Path of Destiny is a sequel to The Witcher: The Old World, another game from Go On Board. In the game, players take on the roles of Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Vesemir, and Dandelion. With some of the game’s stretch goals surpassed, Go On Board will add Triss Marigold as a playable character. According to the Gamefund profile, Path of Destiny explores stories from CD Projekt Red’s games and the books by Andrzej Sapkowski.
To play, 1 to 5 players choose one of four different tales. Initially, Path of Destiny included three tales with Striga, Edge of the World, and Lesser Evil. A reached stretch goal added a fourth, Grain of Truth. Each tale includes twists on the game’s rules and mechanics to keep things interesting.
The Witcher: Path of Destiny also includes rules for solo play in the Grain of Truth tale. In the solo mode, players can take Geralt with them as a companion. With stretch goals met, the game now includes new solo mode upgrades and the ability to bring Ciri, Vesemir, Yennefer, or Dandelion on the journey.
The first wave of the game, the English version, is scheduled to ship sometime in December 2024. A second wave with versions in other languages will launch three months later.
