“That course of got here out a ton of conversations, which in fact broached, if we do a youngsters and household present, is it going to be The Witcher in any respect?” Hissrich advised EW. “How will we do The Witcher with out the entire gore, the entire violence, the entire brutality that we see within the Witcher world? These issues to me are the bells and whistles of this world. In case you peel away these layers, you come again to primary tales of morality. That’s what all of Sapkowski’s quick tales are. They’re morality tales, they’re fairytales. They’re primarily based on a bunch of folklore and mythology, the precise form of tales that Grimms’ fairytales do, that frankly Disney films do. So, it was about, how will we take those self same basic classes, those self same tales, hold them on the earth of The Witcher, however make them extra acceptable for teenagers?”
