Devolver Digital officially launched its latest title, Reigns: The Witcher, across PC and mobile platforms on the 26th. Built upon the foundation of Nerial’s million-selling Reigns series, this spin-off reimagines the world of The Witcher through a distinctly dark fantasy lens.

You’ll follow the tale of Geralt of Rivia, recounted through the bardic lens of Dandelion’s ballads. Every choice you make is etched into verse, where even the smallest slip-up is spun into an epic narrative. Naturally, the series’ signature swipe-based choice mechanic is back, allowing you to carve out Geralt’s fate with a simple flick of the wrist.

From fulfilling contracts and navigating political intrigue to dealing with angry villagers and impatient mages, your decisions carry significant weight across the Continent. A cheeky swipe left or right can secure a noble's trust, earn the ire of a mage conclave, or leave you surrounded by monsters in a swamp. With thousands of branching narrative paths, no two journeys are ever quite the same.

Of course, familiar faces like Yennefer, Triss, and Vesemir will cross your path. Given Dandelion’s penchant for embellishment, even the most mundane incidents are inflated into grand sagas or comedic disasters. The experience isn't just about reading, though; the narrative structure is punctuated by simple combat mini-games, ensuring Geralt still gets his hands dirty fighting off drowners, ghouls, and other nasty beasts.
