Its pretty much what I expected. Witcher 3 took them years to develop and they are still trying to fix cyberpunk after already alot of years in development. It would be pretty dumb of them to show witcher 4 content so soon after cp's release. So ultimately the con is just a fan event and news on season 2 essentially. It still feels hollow to have a con surrounding such little content.
3 minutes ago, Outsiders said:While the event will be filled with content fans are bound to enjoy, in the name of setting appropriate expectations CD PROJEKT RED has informed that no new Witcher game will be announced at WitcherCon.
Im sure it will still probably be interesting but I cant hide my disappointment.

I am excited to see if there is any news about a Witcher 4 game.
Netflix has released a new trailer featuring footage from both The Witcher series on Netflix and the video games published by CD Projekt Red concerning the WitcherCon taking place on July 9th.
The trailer features information about the second season with interviews, games and sneak peeks from the cast of the series and people involved with the games. The WitcherCon stream kicks off on Friday, July 9th at 10 AM PST on both Twitch and YouTube with a second steam commencing at 6 PM.
None of us know what involves the WitcherCon and Netflix will release the information shortly so we'll have to wait and see.
Witcher 3 was hugely popular yes, but a few things with cd projekt red have kind of crumbled that. The game was massive at first but reallystopped hearing anything about it after its initial dlc came out. And now with cyberpunks disaster, cd projekt reds reputation has diminished drastically. Also rarely do we see a full con circling arounda singlegame series. Wtf is a GTA con? or a Bioshock Con? or a Last of Us Con? maybe an Uncharted Con? There are far bigger games that dont get that kind of treatment so I found it weird that they would have a con about a game that everyone talked about for a year and then stopped altogether until the netflix show.
Ive never heard of witcher being so popular to have a "con" for it. Im excited for season 2 but thats about it from the license that would get me excited.
