Is there a trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin?
A full trailer was released on December 3, which you can check out above.
A synopsis reads: “The Witcher: Blood Origin tells the story of seven strangers who join together to fight an unstoppable empire. Though they hail from warring clans, Éile and Fjall must learn to trust one another if they have any hope of leading this band of outcasts on their quest to topple the Continent’s oppressors.
“But, when gateways to other worlds are opened and a power-hungry sage unleashes a new weapon, the Seven realise they must create a monster in order to defeat one.”
Henry Cavill, who plays Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher, is set to step down from the role following season three next year. Netflix recently announced Liam Hemsworth, known for playing Gale in The Hunger Games, will take over the role in season four.
