CD Projekt Red is hard at work on a new adventure with Cyberpunk 2077, but those hoping to return to the world of The Witcher will have an opportunity to do so soon. Pre-orders for Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales go live today and CD Projekt Red has revealed what goodies players can get before the game launches on October 23, 2018.

Pre-orders for Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, which will cost $29.99, are available on the official Witcher website. Here's a look at exactly what you'll get in the deal, along with a new story trailer to celebrate today's festivities:

• Official Thronebreaker Soundtrack
• Digital version of GWENT: Art of The Witcher Card Game artbook from Dark Horse
• Concept art, including the map of Lyria 
• The Witcher graphic novel "Fox Children" by Dark Horse
• 2 in-game GWENT: The Witcher Card Game Player Titles
• 2 in-game GWENT: The Witcher Card Game Player Avatars
• 5 premium kegs for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

“Thronebreaker is almost here and we couldn’t be happier,” said Marcin Iwiński, CD Projekt Red co-founder, in the press release for the announcement. “What started as a single-player adventure for a multiplayer card game quickly outgrew the original concept and became a game in its own right. Thronebreaker is a proper Witcher tale, with more than 30 hours of story, over 75 side quests, and — at the same time — a game that lets you lead an army into previously unexplored places in the Witcher universe. And all of this is powered by story-driven battles based on the card battle mechanics of GWENT.” 

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales launches first on PC via GOG October 23, 2018, and then comes to Xbox One and PS4 on December 4, 2018. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
