Given the nature of the series' timeline, it’s entirely possible that this anime film ends up being an interquel of sorts —taking place before certain events and episodes but well after others. At this time, we don’t know much else about this film, such as if any of the cast from The Witcher series will be reprising their roles. In the meantime, if that wonderful song “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” is still ringing in your ears, you can just embrace it andlisten to it on Spotify.
The Witcher show has seen a great amount of success on Netflix and has even helped boost the number of people trying out the games, as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt saw itshighest-ever number of concurrent playerson Steam, with over 100,000 all playing at the same time. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 4 version of the game was the #7most downloaded PlayStation 4 gamein December 2019.
