A new trailer for Netflix's The Witcher series airs later today. The series still doesn't have a release date, but it's supposed to arrive before the end of the year. It has the potential to fill the hole left by the departure of Game of Thrones for some viewers.

The World of the Witcher: Video Game Compendium -- $22.66 ($40)

See at Amazon

The 184-page hardcover is currently listed for $26.59, but if you clip the coupon you can get that price down an extra $3.93.

The Witcher Netflix series is technically an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy series, not the popular video game franchise that CD Projekt Red adapted from Sapkowski's books. Still, the compendium could prove useful for those interested in gleaning background information about the world. The illustrated book is a guided tour through the lore, including insights about important characters, prominent regions, and the various beasts and monsters that inhabit this magical and dangerous world.

For those who like to read the books before watching adaptations, you can also pick up a box set containing the first three novels in Sapkowski's series for $26.92 at Amazon (was $40). The Witcher 3 also recently released on Nintendo Switch, so you'll be able to play Geralt's mesmerizing adventure in handheld mode while watching the Netflix show on your TV.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul.

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
