According to Amazon, players will be able to travel to a new island named White Wolf’s Haven to start the event. A “mysterious vortex” will appear on this island and the resulting investigation will lead players toGeralt of Riviahimself. Worlds will collide, and Geralt won’t be the onlyWitchercharacter players meet. Yennefer, Triss, Dandelion, and Ciri are just a few familiar faces confirmed for the event.
The Witchercrossover withLost Arkis already available in theKorean version of the MMO. Players across the world feared that the event wouldn’t be brought to their version of the game until much later, if ever, but Amazon is moving fast.The Witchercollaboration event will officially start in January 2023.
As would be expected from a crossover event, there will also be plenty ofWitcher-themed rewards to earn and cosmetics available for purchase. Some content teased for the event includes character customization scars, Cards, Stronghold structures, emojis, and more. Given the limited natured of the event, many rewards can be missed by those who don’t participate.

Still,Lost Arkis a free-to-play gameandThe Witcheris both popular and can easily be monetized. With that said, it should still be a fun event and any new playable content is welcome. Expect further information as the event approaches release in January.
