SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today developer and publisher Lilith Games, along with CD PROJEKT RED, welcomes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt heroes Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg to the globally popular idle RPG AFK Arena. Both playable characters participate AFK Arena ‘s extensive hero list, complete with skills and abilities inspired by their likeness from the realm of The Witcher. Worthy challengers can download AFK Arena on iOS and Android devices and play for free, enjoying the new The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crossover from today.

Both Geralt and Yennefer are not holding back AFK Arena, with everything they’ve learned during their adventures in The Witcher world. In combat, Geralt relies on the skills he has acquired as a witch, attacking enemies with devastating sword attacks such as a spinning whirl and a rending swipe, as well as Characters – a form of combat magic available to witches. He also uses powerful potions that allow him to inflict constant critical damage on enemies. Doug Cockle, who voices Geralt of Rivia in the English localization of The Witcher series of games, returns to reprise his role in the crossover and deliver his usual stellar performance. Meanwhile, Yennefer remains magical in AFK Arena like she does in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, complete with spells designed to destroy her opponents and protect her allies. The kestrel is her signature bird throughout the series, and one fights alongside her for her normal attacks. She is well versed in both Frost and Thunder magic, sending both shards of ice and lightning bolts at her enemies.
