9In the wake of ''Assassins of Kings'', Geralt continues his work as a [[HunterOfMonsters Witcher]], hunting monsters that would prey on the innocent in a world filled with chaos and war. After six months on the Witcher's Path, however, that all changes when an old friend of Geralt's, Emperor Emhyr var Emreis of Nilfgaard, summons the Witcher for a most poignant quest: Find Ciri, a [[TheChosenOne child of destiny]] precious to them both; she is the one soul in the world whom Geralt considers kin. Geralt must now travel the lands (The [[WarIsHell bleak]] [[CrapsackWorld hellhole]] that is the province of Velen, the WretchedHive that is the free city of Novigrad, and the brutal, unforgiving [[HornyVikings Skellige Isles]], along with a handful of mini-regions and individual levels) in search of Ciri, all the while battling the otherworldly legions of TheWildHunt, who seek the girl for their own nefarious ends...

13Additional content comes in the form of both a Free DLC Program and two {{Expansion Pack}}s. The Free DLC Program consists of 16 pieces of content, ranging from new quests to alternate appearances. ''Hearts of Stone'', the first expansion, was released on October 13, 2015. Geralt gets a contract from the mysterious Gaunter O'Dimm, the Man of Glass, which takes him on an adventure into the wilds of the Velen marshlands and the nooks and alleys of Oxenfurt. Caught in a thick tangle of deceit, Geralt will need all his cunning and strength to solve the mystery and emerge unscathed. ''Blood and Wine'', the second expansion, was released on May 31, 2016. In contrast to the war-torn Northern Kingdoms, ''Blood and Wine'' takes Geralt back to the wine-making Nilfgaardian Duchy of Toussaint, untouched by the war and steeped in an atmosphere of carefree indulgence and knightly rituals. But underneath lies a dark, bloody secret that threatens both Geralt and the Duchy itself.
