That’s a decade! A full 10 years of Geralt growling, hustling at Gwent, and making morally questionable decisions that haunt players unto this day. Advocating of this nostalgic bomb dropped by CD Projekt Red on Twitter for the 10-year anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the fans are losing it with the best possible atmosphere.
The official Witcher handle’s tweet stabbed the players’ hearts with a silver sword: “Celebrate 10 years of killing monsters and forging unforgettable memories! ⚔️ It’s been a decade since you began the search for Ciri, discovering all the choices, adventures, and stories that followed. Thank you for walking this Path with us. 💖 #10YearsofTheWitcher3.”
Cue an emotional avalanche. Replies began pouring faster than drowners outside of White Orchard, with players sharing love, replay stats, and demands for a PS5 Pro upgrade (we’re looking at you, @well_masterr).
### Why This Game Still Slaps
Generally, most games die within two years. Not so with The Witcher 3. Not only did this RPG place the bar, but it launched it into orbit. On an expansive open world, with quests that meant something (Requiescat Bloody Baron for the family drama), it wouldn’t really be all that strange for some to still dust their copies off for a spin in 2024.
@IronbaneDK splendidly summarized it: “Mad to think I absolutely hated it the first time I played, then half a year later, I tried again, and now it’s my favourite game. I have completed it 8 times.” Classic case of “it’s not you, it’s me”—until it was you, and you fell headfirst into a 200-hour obsession.
### Gwent Addicts Unite
If Gwent didn’t suck you in for at least 50 hours, did you even ever play Witcher 3? The card game then almost skyrocketed in popularity over The Witcher 3 itself. @TheLostGlitches declared, “Celebrating 10 years of killing monsters, unforgettable memories, and Gwent! 🔥❤️.” Co-signing, man.
Meanwhile, @headspaceastro2 is living their best life: “I just started a new playthrough, now that I have a good card to run it with all the new RTX effects.” Nothing like next-gen lightning effects to invigorate slaying ghouls.
### The (Unmet) Romance Debates
Ah, romance. Or in Geralt’s case, which tragic love story will emotionally wreck me today? To this day, @OluwaHefner is salty: “I’m still disappointed there was no Cerys romance. Still a top game of all time tho.” Sorry, friend. Guess you’ll have to settle for Yennefer’s icy glare or Triss’s… everything.
### The Witcher 4 Hype Train
All this nostalgia makes fans beg for any crumbs about the next game. The much hopeful @Wilker_Muniz did: “E é hoje que postam um teaser de Witcher 4, né? 🥹” (Translation: “So today’s the day they drop a Witcher 4 teaser, right?”). CD Projekt Red, the people need this.
### The Verdict
Ten years later, The Witcher 3 isn’t just a game—it is a cultural reset. Geralt’s journey still somehow manages to hit, whether you’re a first-timer or on your tenth replay (shoutout to @iEvanzzz). To another 10 years of questionable monster contracts, broken rakes, and “winds howling.”
