CD Projekt Red's Kickstarter campaign for The Witcher: Ronin is approaching its end. To hype fans up, the developer released a variant cover depicting the reimagined hero, Geralt of Rivia, roaming about the Japanese-inspired take on the Continent."We're approaching the final days of The Witcher: Ronin's Kickstarter campaign!" the company wrote. "This calls for another variant cover reveal — the stunning artwork created by [Jen Bartel]." The cover features Geralt of Rivia, dressed in garb resembling that of samurai kimono, with two katanas strapped to his side.
The Kickstarted-funded project reimagines the Continent and explores what it would be like if Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy world had drawn inspiration from Japanese mythology and folklore instead of western mythology and fairytales. The main arc of The Witcher: Ronin contains 4 chapters totalling 100 full-color pages. Additionally, the dedicated created team has also written three short stories spanning roughly 15 pages each.
Alongside Geralt of Rivia, CD Projekt Red promises appearances from a reimagined Vesemir, as well as Yennefer of Vengerberg. For the project's backers, The Witcher: Ronin will also arrive with a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the manga, as well as insight into which Japanese myths and folktales inspired the fantasy world.
