A board game just pulled in €12,738,502.
That’s the number sitting on The Witcher: Legacy, the tabletop RPG from Go On Board, backed by 32,577 people on Gamefound. For a genre where a strong crowdfunder means a few hundred thousand, that figure is its own kind of statement.
Here’s the pitch. You play an iconic Witcher digging into the plot behind the sacking of The School of the Wolf. “History is being written. Make sure it bears your mark,” the official description reads.
What you actually get in the box
One to four players. Roughly 150 minutes a session. It’s a story-driven cooperative campaign where, per the creators, “all decisions come with tangible consequences, each action leads to a different outcome, and every chapter provides mechanical freshness.”
The main campaign runs 48+ hours. Uncovering everything tucked inside it is expected to take over 100.
“Thanks to a fully non-linear campaign, each playthrough can follow a different path – letting you replay the story many times over and easily reach 100+ hours of gameplay,” the description reads. “Additionally, Endgame Mode brings a dynamic sandbox environment with evolving challenges, ensuring the adventure never stops.”
A free narration app ships alongside it.
Nine editions, and a very honest name
Pre-orders are open now ahead of the Summer 2027 launch. There are nine versions, each one climbing in price. The cheapest is $109.
The most expensive is $480, and it’s called “I Want It All.” No euphemism, no tier name borrowed from Continental cuisine. It bundles every expansion, the visual add-ons and the post-campaign gadgets.
You get to decide where on that ladder you sit. The gap between the two ends is wide enough that it’s a real decision.
The Witcher release calendar is getting crowded
Legacy isn’t arriving alone. Songs of the Past, the third and final DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is set to launch some time in 2027. The Witcher 4 is in development at CD Projekt RED, targeting 2028.
And before either of those, the remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is expected on 29 September. It’s been over a decade since the most recent Witcher installment, so the timing tracks. Better still, it arrives as a free update if you already own the game on your platform of choice.
Which leaves Legacy in an interesting spot on the calendar. A 150-minute board game, playable solo, sitting in the long stretch between a remaster this month and a sequel three years out.
The pledge window is still open. Two years is a long time to wait for a box, but the people who put down €12,738,502 seem fine with it.
