Spokko

Spokko was a Polish mobile game development studio best known for The Witcher: Monster Slayer, a location-based augmented reality role-playing game for iOS and Android. Its work combined mobile game design, real-world exploration and the adaptation of an established game universe to mobile devices.

The studio originated in 2008 as a casual mobile games initiative. In August 2018, it became a dedicated company within the CD PROJEKT Capital Group after its founders proposed an augmented reality game based on The Witcher. CD PROJEKT initially held a controlling majority stake and later became its sole owner. Spokko operated from Warsaw and developed its project within the group's broader creative and commercial environment.

Mobile exploration and augmented reality

Spokko spent three years developing The Witcher: Monster Slayer using Unity. Set long before the events of CD PROJEKT RED's Witcher games, it cast players as newly trained monster hunters exploring their real-world surroundings. Its gameplay combined first-person augmented reality combat with potion brewing and narrative quests, translating elements of the fantasy setting into a location-based mobile experience.

Announced in August 2020, the game launched globally on July 21, 2021. Spokko developed and published the title, bringing together mobile RPG systems, augmented reality engineering, 3D asset optimization and ongoing game operations. The release attracted more than one million downloads in its first week, although the report records subsequent declines in retention and monetization.

Reorganization and merger

In December 2022, CD PROJEKT announced plans to discontinue the game and merge Spokko into the parent company. The Witcher: Monster Slayer was removed from app stores in early 2023, and its servers shut down on June 30, 2023.

The statutory merger into CD PROJEKT S.A. was registered on August 31, 2023. Spokko ceased to exist as an independent operating entity, with its assets, rights and obligations transferred to the parent company.
