As we can read on the official website of WitcherCon, we shouldn't expect an announcement of a new video game set in the universe. However, the fans of the White Wolf's adventures should not complain about lack of attractions. We will be able to take a look behind the scenes of the development of the games, the TV show, and the animated film. What's more we will be able to participate in interactive panels with "people who breathed life into The Witcher". The latter are expected to bring new information about the Netflix series and fresh announcements about the franchise. Last on the list of attractions are expert commentaries on the universe and its history and legends, as well as the monsters inhabiting it.
It's worth noting as a trivia, that the fact of the creators of both adaptations of The Witcher planning a joint venture could have been guessed five hours before the official announcement of WitcherCon, simply by reading the messages published on their Twitter profiles, in which The Witcher from CD Projekt RED invited Netflix's The Witcher for a meeting.
