The Witcher becomes a strategy game in this Total War mod
The Witcher has successfully made the jump from books to games, and then crossed genres from RPG games to card games - so why not conquer strategy games, too? There’s no official plan for a strategic Witcher spin-off, but luckily the Total War mod community is around to bring the Continent to the venerable real-time tactics series.
While that’s the eventual plan, the modders behind Witcher: Total War are starting reasonably small. The total conversion for Medieval 2 will initially launch as a demo, with a map encompassing Velen and Novigrad and three factions: Reedania, Novigrad, and the Nilfgaardian Empire. Eventually, that’ll expand to a Northern Realms map with 20 factions, and then a full Grand Campaign map with 29 factions.
The Witchers themselves will show up as units - six different types for each of the schools - and many other types of units will take inspiration from the armies featured in Gwent. You won’t see any Total War: Warhammer-style monsters as units, though those types of beast may be included through scripts.
