Every story has a beginning. Discover the unedited history of the Continent with The Witcher: Blood Origin, a new prequel series set in an elven world 1200 years before the events of The Witcher. Blood Origin tells a lost legend in time, exploring the creation of the prototype of the Witcher and the events leading up to the crucial “Conjunction of the Spheres”, when the universes of monsters, men, and elves merged into one world. The Witcher: Blood Origin is out in 2022, only on Netflix.

How is Blood Origin related to The Witcher?

This new installment will be set in the world that fans already know thanks to Geralt de la Rivia, but it is not connected to the magician’s story. It is a prequel located 1,200 years after the events we already know, which revolves around 7 heroes, who must join forces to stop a power that endangers life on the Continent. As a result of these efforts, they will create the first magician and give rise to the Conjunction of the Spheres.

The Witcher: Blood Origin Trailer Explained

In the first minutes of the preview of the series, we could see 7 creatures coming together (reluctantly) to stop an evil force. So far, we know that in this part of the story, the goblins are the ruling class, and they seem to have imposed a dictatorship over the other creatures. However, the most frightening thing seems to be a beast that, although it does not appear in the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, is mentioned several times.

Even the advance lets us see that the heroes of the story will subdue this monster by uniting their powers with that of one of the warriors of the adventure. Thus, the first magician will be born, according to the Netflix site Tudum. Of course, we will have to wait for the premiere of the series to know who will be chosen. Another question that the prequel to The Witcher will resolve is how the monoliths came to be and what role they play in this magical world.

It’s worth remembering that these huge stones are not part of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, but were first introduced in video games and eventually the TV series. At the end of The Witcher: Blood Origin trailer came to the most unexpected e see Jaskier, the bard who accompanies Geralt de la Rivia on many of his adventures.

Without a doubt, his presence in the preview unleashed more questions than answers, because how can he be alive if the prequel dates back more than a thousand years? In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Joey Batey explained that his character will be a kind of “connective tissue” between the two parties:

“The power of music and stories is at the heart of ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin,’ so it makes sense that Jaskier would be a kind of connective tissue between ‘Blood Origin’ and the main series.”

Of course, he also explained that his participation will be minimal.

The one who asks to sing the song is Seanchaí, a storyteller with the ability to change shape and travel in time and between worlds, so she may reach him thanks to her powers. Are you excited to see The Witcher: Blood Origin?
