The Witcher: A Journey Beyond Expectations

Among the characters in the Witcher universe, Geralt and Ciri are often seen celebrating with drinks and smiles. The Witcher, a product of CD Projekt Red, has grown into a massive intellectual property. It now spans across various forms of media including anime, books, comics, and even a series of games.

Geralt's Cameos

Geralt has made appearances in various other games such as Fortnite and SoulCalibur VI. The lead character, Geralt of Rivia, has journeyed far beyond the expectations of fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. He probably never imagined this level of success when he published the first Witcher story in 1990.

The Witcher on Netflix and Duolingo

Besides entering the realm of games and books, The Witcher has a television series on Netflix. Impressively, it has also made its way into the language-learning app Duolingo.

The Witcher Reference in Duolingo

Yes, you read that right. There's a Witcher reference in Duolingo - the same app you might use to learn French or Spanish. A user by the name of GeraltAndYennefer noticed something peculiar about a question asked in the app's Finnish course. The question was: "The bride is a woman and the groom is a hedgehog." Puzzled by the specificity of the request, GeraltAndYennefer asked if it was a reference to Sapkowski’s successful fantasy series.
