Fans of The Witcher can now refuel with a new range of Geralt-themed energy drinks, which have just been released in Poland. Andrzej Sapkowski’s cult-classic fantasy novels have inspired a slew of goods and tie-in media over the years, including CD Projekt Red’s critically acclaimed The Witcher games and Netflix’s blockbuster The Witcher television show, which is due to return later this year with a second season.
Netflix has released The Witcher: Nightmare Of The Wolf, an animated spin-off film about Geralt’s mentor Vesemir’s origin story. However, it is CD Project Red’s The Witcher RPGs, which center on Geralt Of Rivia himself, that have gotten a lot of attention outside of the franchise’s home Poland – and have produced a lot of merchandising.
The digital Gwent: The Witcher Card Game has spawned a separate title (as well as enthusiasts creating their own real-life Gwent cards), while Go On Board, a Polish board game creator, is presently working on The Witcher: Old World, a tabletop RPG. The anticipation for this game is so strong that Old World’s Kickstarter campaign has already broken Polish crowdfunding records five times in the last several months.
According to Reddit user czechu26, Polish energy drink brand Oshee has teamed up with CD Project Red to create a range of drinks inspired by The Witcher. These energy drinks are available in a number of flavors, each of which is named after a character or potion from The Witcher games.
They are now appearing in Polish retailers, according to csechu26. However, no plans to bring these Witcher-themed energy drinks to other regions, such as the United States, appear to exist.
Fans of The Witcher will have to wait for the next part of the interactive adventure. At the moment, CD Projekt Red is concentrating on Cyberpunk 2077 and resolving the game’s numerous technical difficulties.

Meanwhile, the team is working on porting The Witcher 3 to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it’s possible that Witcher 3 PC fan modifications may be enlisted to assist enhance the game’s technical and graphical performance. However, other than a hypothetical 2021 launch window, no release date for this upgrade has been provided.
The Witcher-inspired energy drinks from Oshee are unlikely to offer players superhuman endurance or improved eyesight like Geralt’s potions in the Witcher games, but they may be a good source of fuel for a late-night session of The Witcher 3. Thanks to CD Projekt Red, Netflix, and a rising number of firms trying to cash in on the franchise’s monster-slaying exploits, The Witcher’s popularity doesn’t appear to be waning anytime soon.
