Fight for Ciri.
Fight to protect the helpless.
Fight for principles.
Fight as you were taught in a manner worthy of a witcher from the School of the Wolf 🐺Remember where you grew up and use it against your opponents! pic.twitter.com/uqMpMCFNBe

The new update will also support some of the most popular mods available for the base game at launch.

PLAY AS A HIGHLY TRAINED MONSTER SLAYER FOR HIRE
Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength and reflexes, witchers are a counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live.
- Gruesomely destroy foes as a professional monster hunter armed with a range of upgradeable weapons, mutating potions and combat magic.
- Hunt down a wide range of exotic monsters — from savage beasts prowling the mountain passes, to cunning supernatural predators lurking in the shadows of densely populated towns.
- Invest your rewards to upgrade your weaponry and buy custom armour, or spend them away in horse races, card games, fist fighting, and other pleasures the night brings.
