The Witcher: No Man's Land Officially Arrives November 17

Netflix’s The Witcher had all the ingredients to become one of the greatest fantasy adaptations of all time, but the series has suffered a steady decline since its promising first season. Much of the criticism has centered on the show’s extremely loose interpretation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original novels, with major changes to characters and storylines frustrating longtime readers. Henry Cavill’s departure was the writing on the wall, and even a new Geralt hasn’t been enough to reverse the show’s declining viewership.

Of course, we’ve already seen just how successful The Witcher can be when an adaptation respects its source material. CD Projekt Red’s video games have built an enormous following while expanding on Sapkowski’s world, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt being one of the highest-rated RPGs in modern gaming.

Now, another officially licensed adaptation is taking inspiration from both the original books and CDPR’s games on November 17, even including some familiar faces from The Witcher 2.

The Witcher: No Man’s Land is officially launching its Gamefound campaign on November 17, 2026, at 10AM ET, giving fans their first opportunity to preorder the upcoming tabletop game. Developed by Monster Fight Club in partnership with CD Projekt Red, the new release brings Geralt of Rivia and several familiar faces to the tabletop in a miniature-based skirmish game inspired by the world established in Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and expanded through CDPR’s video games.

One of the most exciting connections is the inclusion of Letho of Gulet, the notorious kingslayer introduced in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Letho serves as one of the central characters in No Man’s Land, leading a warband of professional fighters against Geralt and his own ragtag group of allies. Given their complicated history in The Witcher 2, including Letho’s role in the assassination of King Foltest, it’s an perfect setup for longtime fans of the games.

There are also some direct callbacks to Sapkowski’s original stories, with a striga confirmed to be making an appearance, the famous monster at the center of Geralt’s adventure in The Last Wish. Other recognizable characters, including Yennefer and Dandelion, are also featured in the game’s expansion lineup.

As for the gameplay itself, No Man’s Land is a scenario-based skirmish game that doesn’t follow a single predetermined storyline. Players can assemble different warbands, undertake monster hunts, and participate in competitive or cooperative battles. The two-player starter set includes Geralt and Letho’s respective warbands, a griffin and striga miniature, a playmat, scenery, character cards, dice, tokens, and a rulebook, with more likely to be introduced in the future.

Combat uses Monster Fight Club’s existing [RE]action System, which allows players to react to enemy attacks without waiting through traditional rounds. Characters also become less effective as they suffer injuries, adding another layer of strategy to battles.

Although the game draws from both Sapkowski’s literary universe and CDPR’s adaptations, there hasn’t been any confirmation of an overarching canonical storyline or a direct retelling of The Witcher 2. Pricing and an official delivery date also remain unannounced, with additional details expected when the Gamefound campaign opens on November 17.
