Overview
Description

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expands the beloved MMORPG with the new continent of Outland, introducing two new playable races, the Blood Elf and the Draenei, and raising the level cap to 70. Players can explore floating cities, ancient temples, and hostile wastelands while engaging in epic storylines that deepen the Warcraft lore. The expansion adds challenging raids, new PvP battlegrounds, and a host of quality-of-life improvements such as flying mounts and upgraded talent trees, offering both veteran and new players fresh content and reasons to return to Azeroth’s ever‑growing world.

Pricing

Around $39.99, frequently discounted; expansions sold separately or in a Complete Edition.
