Witchers, ready your swords and open up your Photo Mode. The official Photo Mode Contest is here! Your contract: Capture the essence of the game based on any of the 3 categories: Characters, Nostalgia, or Beauty of The Witcher 3, and share your best shots with us in our Discord or official Forums!

Image showing the three categories in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered Photo Mode Contest. Three panels appear side by side, each featuring a screenshot from the game. The “Characters” category shows a close-up of Ciri looking to the side with a somber expression. The “Nostalgia” category shows Geralt of Rivia from behind, looking out over Kaer Morhen. The “Beauty of The Witcher 3” category shows a large draconid flying over a green, rocky landscape beneath a cloudy sky.

19 years ago, an ambitious dream to bring an iconic book series into the world of video games came to life with the release of The Witcher. It was the start of an unforgettable path, which wouldn't have been possible without our friends at BioWare.
