Since the release ofThe Witcherback in 2007, CD Projekt Red has received praise for creating a series of games that both celebrate and expand upon the world created by Polish authorAndrzej Sapkowski. Each game in the series is filled with compelling characters, twisted tales, and a frankly staggering amount of history and world building, all without ever feeling overbloated or inconsequential. Creating and filling this immense world of conflict and chaos was no easy feat, and at times understanding whatexactlyis going on isn’t quite so simple as well. We’re here to help, with a complete timeline of a series as dark and complicated as its protagonist.
So the first thing to know about the timeline ofThe Witcheris that it’s divided into two parts: before and after resurrection. However, despite the importance of that distinction, what the “resurrection” refers to exactly is still unknown. While the earliest event the games mention is the Conjunction of the Spheres—which occurred around 230 BR (Before Resurrection)—there are a few canon events to touch upon before we dive in.
