TóRAíOCHT UPDATE: Our creative family is growing as we welcome Edward and Eugenia of Lihtar Studio to the Tóraíocht Team! We struck gold faster than we could have ever hoped for while seeking a European co-production, having admired Lihtar's work since they burst onto the scene with their Witcher tribute in 2024, so naturally we are beyond excited to be moving forward with our growing production team. Through Edward and Eugenia, Lihtar will be supporting TóRAíOCHT as we seek series/pilot/short film funding opportunities in Europe. Here's to 2025!

Sharing more stuff from our vault - here are some of the developments and alternative versions on the young Witcher! Which of the designs appeals to you the most? Visual development: Andrei Sitari

Raised by his adoptive stepfather Vesemir, Geralt’s sets on his first trail outside the fortress walls. Living in isolation from the outside world in Kaer Morhen, twenty-something, Geralt believes that to succeed in his Witcher’s profession and survive, one must reject emotions, rely on reason, wield a sword skillfully, and to not meddle in human affairs. However, he fails to realize that the ideals imparted by his training do not reflect reality. Geralt’s alienation has led him to be ignorant of the rules and customs of the outside world. This, combined with his ambition to excel in his profession and his unconscious empathy for other sentient beings, will be the source of his future problems. What story beat did you like the most?

Living in his old family manor, Nivellen pays for his mistakes of the past with his loneliness, scaring away the common folk with his beastly apperance. His smooth features reveal a soft side beneath the scary exterior - perhaps a perfect foil to Vereena.

Two swords, white hair, amber cat eyes - Geralt, or the “White Wolf” must stand out among the kaleidoscope of other characters from his magical world. Various tools and weapons help him deal with the challenges he meets on his adventures. Character design: Andrei Sitari Background: Darina Lapkovskaya

In the diverse population within the world of The Witcher, humans, elves, dwarves, and other races coexist in a tense, yet intricate tapestry of relationships. Here are some of these inhabitants and their everyday objects, offering a deeper insight into their lives. Character design: Andrei Sitari

Vereena. Once a deadly vampire, seeking shelter under the guise of a fragile maiden, only to be revealed as a bloodthirsty monster when Geralt uncovers the unspoken secrets.
