The release of Season 2 of The Witcher series on Netflix has kicked off some other fling of interest in the net game to feature Geralt, with The Witcher 3: Wild Run spiking to a high-pitched of complete 71,000 daily concurrent players. The release of Time of year 1 in 2019 kicked unsatisfactory a spike of players that reached higher than the game's launch day in 2015, as I according then, with all over 100,000 synchronic players.

A spike to 71,000 doesn't quite reach the launch peak, which was over 92,000, but it does continue to impress that a now over six year old singleplayer PC game continues to attract so many concurrent players. Perhaps hoi polloi are picking it up, or returning to it, having just watched flavor 2.

Anyway, as far as "video biz shows" goes, it makes you inquire if popularity could make in the other direction. Could we get a rad Witcher prequel game with Michelle Yeoh if that turns out popular, maybe? Bad to say, as that would credibly ask complex legal wrangling between Netflix and CD Projekt about those notoriously complex videogame rights.

Either way, I bear when season 3 releases I'll be writing this article once again. Hopefully, aside then, the postponed Witcher 3 next generation advance will atomic number 4 out and the halting will expression a morsel more... 2023? 2024? We'll see whenever that happens.
