Read first?
01
When to read first
Same rule as the other Witcher games: read the books first if their ending still matters to you. This one is steeped in the aftermath.
02
When playing first is fine
Fine if the books are already read, or if you are only here for the games and will not go back.
03
Why
It is not a retelling of a novel. It is the next political mess after the saga, so the books' outcomes are already decided when you start.
