According to the description, you’ll have to track monsters using actual weather conditions and the time of day, equip armor and weapons, brew potions, and upgrade gear over time to deal with increasingly threatening monsters. Taking them down earns you trophies, too.

There’s more Witcher on the way thanks to the upcoming WitcherCon 2021, set to take place on July 9. CD Projekt Red has already confirmed there won’t be a new Witcher game revealed at the show, though.
