A New Witcher Contract Sees the Monster Slayer Geralt and the Magic-Wielding Yennefer Join the Realm of Esperia as New Playable Heroes
Today, developer and publisher Lilith Games, together with CD PROJEKT RED, welcomes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt heroes Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg to the globally popular idle-RPG AFK Arena. Both playable characters join AFK Arena‘s expansive hero roster, complete with skills and abilities inspired by their likeness from the realm of The Witcher. Worthy challengers can download AFK Arena on iOS and Android devices and play for free, enjoying the new The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crossover as of today.
Both Geralt and Yennefer aren’t holding back in AFK Arena, bringing everything they learned over the course of their adventures in The Witcher world. In combat, Geralt relies on the skills acquired as a witcher, assaulting enemies with devastating sword strikes like a spinning whirl and a rending swipe, as well as Signs — a form of combat magic available to witchers. He also utilizes powerful potions that let him consistently dish out critical damage against foes. Doug Cockle, who voices Geralt of Rivia in the English localization of The Witcher series of games, returns to reprise his role in the crossover, delivering his usual stellar performance. Meanwhile, Yennefer remains as magical in AFK Arena as she does in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, complete with spells designed to annihilate her opponents and protect her allies. The kestrel is her signature bird throughout the series, and one fights alongside her for her normal attacks. She’s well-versed in both Frost and Thunder magic, sending both shards of ice and bolts of electricity at her enemies.
“After getting the chance to bring The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to AFK Arena, we knew we had to go above and beyond to pay tribute to a series beloved the world over,” said Don, AFK Arena developer. “As huge fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ourselves, our team embraced the challenge of ensuring Geralt and Yennefer are faithful to their original appearances, while also guaranteeing they fit in alongside characters like Rosaline and Talene. We can’t wait to see them join players’ teams.”
The two newest additions join AFK Arena‘s impressive roster alongside other recognizable characters such as Joker and Queen from Persona 5, Ezio Auditore from the Assassin’s Creed series, and Overlord‘s Ainz Ooal Gown and Albedo.
