Asmodee and Polish studio Go On Board have given The Witcher: Path of Destiny - Ronin a final retail release date: 8 May, a week later than originally planned. For groups who didn't back the original Path of Destiny crowdfund, this is the first chance to grab a Witcher board game off the shelf at your local shop.

Start organising for freeRonin is a fully standalone product, not an expansion. It plonks Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, Vesemir, Triss, Dandelion and Yuki Onna (a yokai snow spirit pulled from Japanese folklore) into an alternate world where the witchers have swapped silver swords for katanas and the bards play biwa instead of lutes. Seven playable characters in total, each with their own ability suite. Plays 1-5 players in roughly 45 minutes at $99.99 RRP.
The game runs on the Path of Destiny tableau-building system Go On Board developed with CD Projekt RED, a story-driven adventure with quest cards, encounter resolution and bookkeeping that hews close to The Witcher 3's vibe rather than to a heavy dungeon crawler. The original 2025 Path of Destiny earned solid reviews (Nerdly called it "a triumph of thematic design") with the usual caveat that asymmetry can swing the experience round to round. ICv2 reports the Ronin box is loaded with miniatures, action and ability cards, wooden markers, and the usual stack of tokens and boards.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksThe Japanese-folklore reskin will divide opinion. CD Projekt RED has leaned into the idea since the original reveal, and reaction has skewed enthusiastic from people who like alt-history Geralt and bemused from people who don't. Either way, it ships next week.
If you've been holding off on dipping into the Witcher tabletop universe because the previous boxes felt like commitments, Ronin is the friendlier on-ramp: standalone, 45 minutes, no homework required. Time to rally the group, find a game night nearby and book Geralt in for a Friday.
