The director of Studio Mir, Kwang ll Han said that one of the benefits of creating Witcher’s animated universe was allowing the witchers to wield the iconic dual blades from the video game.

In live-action, the actors generally have difficulty to carry multiple swords simultaneously as they are exponentially heavy. Creating an anime doesn’t restrict the voice actors as well as the animators.

The animated film is all set to premiere on Netflix on the 23rd of August 2021.
