Geralt and other characters from CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher series will soon be making their way to the world of Lost Ark.
After rumors have been swirling for a number of weeks, both Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG have now announced a collaboration with CD Projekt Red to bring Geralt of Rivia and other characters from The Witcher universe to Lost Ark for a limited-time special crossover event.
As well as Geralt, the titular Witcher, characters like Yennefer, Triss, Dandelion, and Ciri will all be making their way to Arkesia in January for the event. Even the original voice actors will be reprising their roles for the collaboration.
When is the Lost Ark Witcher crossover event?
The free event is coming to Lost Ark on Wednesday, January 18, and will run through to Wednesday, February 22, 2023. You can already read the patch notes to see what’s coming in full.
Event details
The crossover will allow players to acquire special Witcher-themed items such as new Witcher-themed cosmetics, new character customization scars, Cards, Stronghold structures, Emojis, and more.
Players will work with Geralt, Ciri, Dandelion, Yennefer, and Triss to uncover the mystery of the mystifying, interdimensional vortex that is disrupting the festivities of White Wolf Haven Island. Players can access the all-new event island by speaking with the Guild Investigator in major cities.
Throughout the event, players can take on a series of story and daily quests and earn items like Witcher Potions, 3 Jukebox songs, a new card set featuring 5 Witcher characters, and more. Witcher-themed cosmetics can be found in the in-game store, along with a unique Twitch drop with Witcher-inspired Mokoko skins.

Why is Geralt in Lost Ark?
The story will introduce a new island to the world of Lost Ark called White Wolf’s Haven. During a festival, a mysterious vortex will appear causing Geralt and his allies to end up in Arkesia. Lost Ark players will then need to team up with the famed Witcher to solve a mystery that spans time and space.
Fans of The Witcher will know that the series is no stranger to multiversal shenanigans and that different universes are connected by something called the Spiral. Geralt has visited various universes before and this plot device is likely behind why Geralt and his crew are able to arrive in Arkesia.
Geralt is getting quite a dab hand at these crossovers, too. The Witcher has appeared in Soul Calibur VI, and even Monster Hunter World.
