Following Geralt of Rivia's battle with a kikimora in 1231, he enters the town of Blaviken and meets Renfri, a cursed princess-turned-bandit. She is hunted by the wizard Stregobor, who believes her evil for being born during an eclipse. Stregobor lures Geralt to his hideout, seeking to hire him to kill Renfri, but Geralt refuses. Renfri later offers Geralt a counterproposal, but Geralt refuses, issuing an ultimatum: leave or die. Renfri feigns agreement with the ultimatum, but upon waking up the next morning, Geralt realizes Renfri will not stop until Stregobor is dead, and he rushes to stop her. After killing her men, he fights and fatally wounds Renfri, whose dying words tell of a girl in the forest who is his eternal destiny. Stregobor arrives to take Renfri's body for autopsy. When Geralt opposes, the townsfolk force him to leave, urged on by Stregobor. In 1263, Nilfgaard conquers the northern kingdom of Cintra. Princess Cirilla, also known as Ciri, is sent away by her grandmother, Queen Calanthe, to escape and find Geralt. Cahir, a Nilfgaardian officer, captures Cirilla, but when she sees the burning city and castle, her powers are triggered, allowing her to escape. Based on "The Lesser Evil" from The Last Wish.

In 1206, hunchback Yennefer from Vengerberg of Aedirn is sold to Tissaia de Vries by her father. She is taken to Aretuza for training in magic, but finds the practice difficult. She forms a friendship with Istredd, even revealing her quarter-elf heritage, which caused her deformity. Unbeknownst to either, Tissaia and Stregobor were using Yennefer and Istredd, respectively, to spy on each other. Later, Yennefer witnesses Tissaia turn three students into eels to serve as conduits for magic to power Aretuza. In 1240, Geralt is hired to investigate grain thefts in Posada, and is followed by Jaskier the bard.

There, Geralt meets Filavandrel, the elven king, and urges him to lead his people to better lands after being banished by the humans. Instead of killing them, Filavandrel frees Geralt and Jaskier, taking the witcher's words to heart. In 1263, Cirilla encounters Dara, a boy in the woods, who guides her to a refugee camp. Dara returns to save her when Cahir's forces attack the camp; she later realizes Dara is an elf. Based on "The Edge of the World" from The Last Wish.

In 1210, Yennefer and Istredd become lovers while finishing their training. While Yennefer has the chance to transform her body into her ideal image during graduation, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers discusses assigning their newly initiated to their respective kingdoms. Through Stregobor's scheming, Yennefer is assigned to Nilfgaard rather than her preferred Aedirn because of her elven blood. Yennefer angrily breaks off her relationship with Istredd, knowing only he could have told Stregobor about her heritage. Having missed graduation, Yennefer undergoes the painful transformation to be beautiful at the cost of her fertility. With her new body, Yennefer charms Aedirn's King Virfuril into taking her as advisor, sending Fringilla to Nilfgaard instead. In 1243, Geralt enters the kingdom of Temeria to investigate a monster, assisted by Triss Merigold, King Foltest's sorceress advisor. He identifies the monster as a strzyga, a creature born of a curse he later learns was placed by the courtier Ostrit, who learned of the incestual affair between Foltest and his sister, Princess Adda. Using Ostrit as bait, Geralt fights to contain the strzyga until dawn, when the curse is lifted. In 1263, Cirilla enters a dense forest in a trance as Dara follows to help. Based on "The Witcher" from The Last Wish.

In 1240, having served Aedirn for thirty years, Yennefer, along with Queen Kalis of Lyria, is ambushed by an assassin. In the ensuing chase, Yennefer flees, unable to save Kalis and her newborn daughter from the assassin. In 1249, Geralt accompanies Jaskier to the betrothal feast of Princess Pavetta, Queen Calanthe's daughter. Urcheon of Erlenwald (also named Duny) interrupts to demand Pavetta's hand through the Law of Surprise, having saved her father's life several years earlier. Urcheon suffers from a curse that has transformed him into a humanoid hedgehog. Despite Pavetta's acceptance, Calanthe refuses, and a brawl ensues. When Calanthe tries to kill Urcheon, Pavetta activates her power, unleashing a maelstrom until Geralt and Mousesack intervene. Wanting her daughter to be happy, Calanthe marries Duny and Pavetta, which lifts his curse. Duny, thankful for Geralt's aid, insists that he take a reward. Geralt jokingly invokes the Law of Surprise for something Duny has but does not yet know. The crowd then immediately learns Pavetta is pregnant. In 1263, Nilfgaard's forces resume their pursuit of Cirilla, Pavetta's daughter, with Mousesack as their prisoner. Meanwhile, Cirilla and Dara encounter the dryad queen Eithne in Brokilon Forest, while Cahir and Fringilla track Ciri's location.

In 1256, seven years after Pavetta's betrothal, Geralt and Jaskier discover a djinn and accidentally release it. Initially, it seems that Jaskier is the djinn 'master', but then he falls seriously ill. Geralt seeks help from the nearest healer, the elf Chireadan, but since they need a mage to heal Jaskier, Chireadan reluctantly refers them to Yennefer. Although Yennefer cures Jaskier, her plan is to use him to capture the djinn and force it to grant her her wish of regaining her fertility. As Jaskier uses his last wish, nothing happens, and it is revealed that Geralt, not Jaskier, has actually gained the wishes. Geralt realizes the djinn will kill Yennefer, so he uses his third and final wish to save her (but the wish itself is not revealed). The djinn leaves. Now free and safe, Yennefer asks what his third wish was, but Geralt falls asleep after they have sex without answering. In 1263, Cahir hires a doppler to assume the identity of Mousesack; the doppler copies his physical form and memories, then kills him. Later, Eithne allows Ciri to stay in Brokilon, but "Mousesack" arrives and requests that Ciri and Dara leave with him. Based on "The Last Wish" from The Last Wish.

In 1262, Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer, and a group of monster hunters are invited on a dragon hunt by Borch and his bodyguards, along with a band of dwarves. After camping overnight, they find the Reavers have left. On their way, the bridge collapses, and Borch's group sacrifices themselves to save the rest. Geralt and Yennefer reconcile before finding a dead dragon in its den, guarded by the bodyguards. Borch, revealed as a golden dragon, explains that he protected the dragon's egg as he knew the group wouldn't harm it. They defend the egg from the Reavers, and Borch rewards the dwarves with dragon teeth. Geralt reveals his third wish to Yennefer, linking their fates together. Feeling that her emotions are insincere, Yennefer ends their relationship and departs. This leaves Geralt angry and hurt; he blames Jaskier for his misfortunes before leaving him. Ciri quickly deduces that "Mousesack" is an impostor and escapes, but Dara has had enough and leaves her. Based on "The Bounds of Reason" from Sword of Destiny.

Geralt fights and kills it, which lifts Nivellen's curse.

At Montecalvo, sorceresses from across the Continent meet and join the resistance, among them Francesca, whom Yennefer kidnapped and who reveals Ciri's Elder blood to the others. After making contact with Fringilla, the sorceresses realize that they need to bait Vilgefortz into attacking Montecalvo. Ciri and the Rats rob a noblewoman, leading them to become wanted persons, and Ciri becomes increasingly ingrained with the Rats despite the suspicions of Kayleigh, one of the members. Emhyr confronts Vilgefortz about his betrayal and the two part ways. Tasked with finding Ciri for Emhyr, Skellen is secretly plotting against his emperor. Geralt and his group are joined by Yarpen before saving Beata, one of the refugees, and her sister Talva in a refugee camp from being falsely burned at the stake as witches by a priest. The camp is soon attacked by Nilfgaardian soldiers. Beata is killed, Talva flees, and Geralt is knocked unconscious. Skellen tasks a feared bounty hunter Leo Bonhart, who has a history with the Rats, with finding and killing them, including Ciri.

Original release date

October 30, 2025 (2025-10-30)

Geralt and Jaskier are captured by troops belonging to the Northern Kingdoms. Dijkstra finds them and tortures Geralt to create a rift between Jaskier and Radovid so that Radovid will focus on his royal duties rather than his personal issues. The scheme is successful after Jaskier chooses his friendship with Geralt over his feelings for Radovid. Triss brings Vesemir and his Witchers to Montecalvo to help defend against Vilgefortz, and the sorceresses are trained in armed combat. Ciri learns that The Rats have a history with Leo Bonhart, but they are unaware that he is pursuing them. Ciri also opens up to Mistle about her background, revealing that she knew Geralt of Rivia, though she doesn't reveal her identity. As Radovid assumes control over his army, he also exiles Dijkstra, unwilling to be manipulated by him any longer, as Eva takes him away. Geralt and Jaskier are saved by Regis before parting ways with the group. Geralt tells Jaskier that Regis is a vampire. The camp soon comes under attack as Milva, Yarpen, Zoltan, and Percival arrive to save Geralt and Jaskier. Geralt encounters Cahir and spares his life as he helps them escape when Jaskier is wounded.

Vilgefortz and his forces attack Montecalvo. A battle ensues and both Margarita and Vesemir are killed in the fighting.

Meanwhile, Ciri and the Rats kidnap a young boy, whom they claim is part of a ransom scheme. Ciri saves them from city guards yet again, and word of her fighting prowess and savagery spreads, alarming Mistle and reaching Bonhart's ear, who interrogates and kills the surviving guard for information on Ciri. He later takes a doll from a girl that Ciri gifted the doll to. A furious Yennefer teleports to Emhyr's palace in Nilfgaard, hoping to free Ciri.

Milva reveals to the group that she is pregnant after an encounter with an elf in Brokilon before she joined the group. Geralt and the party later cross a swamp, but are derailed by two spirits, known as Resalka, who kidnap several members of the party. Geralt successfully defeats them, and the party then meets up with Yennefer, who informs them that the Ciri in Nilfgaard is a fake. Geralt and his party decide to instead travel to a group of druids who Regis believes can track the real Ciri's whereabouts. Yarpen and Percival decide to leave the party and return to the dwarven capital, while Yennefer returns to Montecalvo. Emhyr, furious that the word of Teryn being the fake Ciri has gotten out, threatens to kill Skellen, but spares him as Skellen points out that Geralt, also being connected to Ciri by destiny, is a threat to Emhyr's prophecy. The Rats sell the boy they kidnapped to the merchant Hotspurn, who informs them of Bonhart's whereabouts. Furious, Ciri leaves The Rats to save the child, even as Mistle figures out she is Ciri and begs her to stay. Ciri easily dispatches Hotspurn outside the city, where he reveals to her that Bonhart is laying a trap for The Rats in order to kill them.

Yennefer inspires the surviving sorceresses to create their own Lodge before leaving in pursuit of Vilgefortz, tracking him through a portal that leads her into the middle of the ocean near a maelstrom. Vilgefortz kills his surviving followers for their cowardice. The Rats attempt to kill Bonhart, but he effortlessly butchers all of them. Arriving too late to save them, Ciri faces off against Bonhart but is defeated. Bonhart then decapitates the corpses of the Rats and takes Ciri captive.

Meanwhile, Emhyr has grown suspicious of Teryn who is posing as Ciri. Realizing she is an impostor, Emhyr commands Skellen, his spymaster, to find the real Ciri, as he needs to marry her and father a child to fulfill a prophecy. Yennefer recruits Philippa and Fringilla, with the former providing her castle Montecalvo as a headquarters for the resistance and the latter infiltrating the Stygga Castle, Vilgefortz's hideout, to spy on him. Vilgefortz is revealed to be holding Istredd captive, using him to tamper with the monoliths to block other mages than his own from using portals.
