Sign up now to play a "soft-launch version" of The Witcher: Monster Slayer

Registration for mobile The Witcher augmented-reality spin-off, The Witcher: Monster Slayer, is open now for fans keen to try out an early-access “soft-launch version” of the game.

“At the end of April we will draw the upcoming Witchers, who will be able to check the game before the global release in our technical soft-launch version for Google Play,” explains the blurb on the official website. “All news regardless [sic] of the early-access you can check in our social media channels.

“Join the hunt and become a professional Witcher during the next soft-launch for Google Play Android users!”

That’s right – it’s for Android users only for now, much to the dismay of many of the fans responding to the post on the game’s social media channels. The final game, however, is slated to come to both operating systems, so it’s very possible that we’ll see a similar iOS beta test eventually, too.
