Lucca Comics & Games 2022 is delighted to announce that a symphony orchestra will be playing a special concert dedicated to CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Music from the Continent, will be held at the Palazzetto dello Sport and conducted by Eímear Noone, conductor and composer of 26 film and video-game scores, among which is World of Warcraft. Eimear is the first woman ever to conduct at the Academy Award’s ceremony, and her music has reached more than 100 million people in the world over 15 years. Tracks will be performed by musicians from the Fiesole’s Orchestra Giovanile Italiana (the Italian Youth Orchestra), accompanied by the Polish folk metal band Percival Schuttenbach. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, produced with Teatro del Giglio in Lucca, on the occasion of CD PROJEKT RED’s 20th anniversary.

CD PROJEKT RED will all host a number of activities at Villa Bottini, the 16th-century palace located in the center of Lucca. The palace’s garden will serve as a portal to Toussaint, which players had the chance to explore in Blood & Wine, the second of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s expansions. Visitors will be able to participate in an immersive Witcher-themed treasure hunt, take part in various crafting activities, as well as join in on other attractions, all brought to life with the help of experienced live-action role-playing professionals and cosplayers.

Inside the villa, the studio will be hosting a special exhibition, showcasing many rare and never-before-seen artifacts spanning 20 years of the studio’s game-making history. The exhibtion will display Cyberpunk 2077 & The Witcher art as well as historically inspired works from across both franchises.

On 29th October, CD PROJECT RED will host an official Community Party for invited members of the studio’s community to talk and meet with fans. For more information regarding CDPR’s 20 years celebration at Lucca Comics & Games 2022, visit the dedicated website.
