And there we go, the entire WitcherCon schedule. Hopefully the event will live up to the expectations of our starved fandom and give us a trailer of Season 2, a date reveal and hopefully footage of Nightmare of the Wolf.
This sounds….really repetitive. And if I were a fan of the games I’d be disappointed. Here’s hoping the promotion just isn’t doing the event credit
