GameTech: Here’s hoping we’re spellbound by The Witcher

There was a time when people cast spells. They didn’t necessarily work, but people cast them. These days, people cast their phones to TV screens. But it’s all a kind of magic, whatever way you look at it.

Netflix will be hoping to cast a spell of their own later this year, with the release of The Witcher, a TV series based on a series of Polish fantasy novels, but made popular by the hugely successful video game series of the same name. The Witcher 3 is considered one of the greatest role-playing games of the last 20 years.
