Netflix drops new The Witcher Season 3 trailer at Summer Game Fest

Their task is made even more difficult with the appearance of a fire mage making life hell for Geralt, and putting him on the path of an even more formidable foe than any he's crossed paths against.

The Witcher's claim of neutrality and emotionless existence is put to the ultimate test for this season as the stakes rise. We're no longer dealing with monsters and monstrosities here - Geralt's struggle this time around is more profound and personal.

As has been the case with previous Netflix Originals, the streaming platform will deliver the new season in multiple parts. The first half, composed of five episodes, will drop on June 29, followed by the concluding three episodes four weeks later on July 27.

This split should only further heighten the anticipation and promises an epic finale for Cavill's journey as Geralt. Fingers crossed, its numbers will reflect that as well.

While Cavill's departure has stirred a mixed response from fans, his commitment to the character is indisputable. From the onset, Cavill's portrayal of Geralt has won over fans of the book series and the video game franchise developed by CD Projekt RED. It will be a herculean task for Hemsworth to fill Cavill's boots when he takes up the role from season 4. Despite this significant change, the Witcher franchise shows no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, with a fifth season already in the pipeline, it seems the series is geared up for many more adventures on the Continent.

As we bid adieu to Cavill's Geralt, we can't help but anticipate a grand send-off worthy of the Witcher's legacy. The fans are undoubtedly on edge, waiting to see if season 3 can right the perceived wrongs of its predecessor, and whether it can give a satisfying farewell to Cavill's Witcher.
