, , , , , , , , 0

If you can truly believe it, the ultimate, long-awaited launch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now just days away. For the next five days, players will have to continue waiting and counting down the hours. However, CD Projekt Red has unleashed another video for the game online. Titled “A Night to Remember,” the latest video is the launch cinematic for the upcoming sequel in CD Projekt Red’s Witcher video game franchise. To be clear, the new cinematic trailer does not contain actual gameplay footage. It is a new extended cinematic trailer to give players a portrayal of what the game is all about when witcher and monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, takes on a contract to hunt a monster. The video is like a nice short film. It starts with a beautiful woman standing outside a quaint cabin observing the moonlit horizon. The woman is singing a beautiful but haunting lullaby. She is then approached by Geralt, and the woman starts to disrobe. It is then clear that

CD Projekt Red has released the latest gameplay video for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The new video features the malevolent beasts and monsters Geralt of Rivia can hunt in the world of the game. The game looks to create an immersive RPG experience unlike any other, and the creatures that fill the world are a big part of that. The Witcher 3 emphasizes learning how to understand your monstrous foes. Specifically, you have to learn where to find them, their attack patterns and what scares them. With that, you will have to best figure out how kill them. In total, the game will have more than 80 creatures and monsters for Geralt to match skills and wits with. Creatures come at Witcher from land, air or even water like the Siren or the Drowner. All the creatures have specific fears and weaknesses that Geralt can exploit using his arsenal of weapons or magic spells. In the video, the designers also talk about creating an basically virtual eco-system for the

The Witcher 3 To Be End Of Geralt's Story But Not The End of the Series?

The Witcher 3 To Be End Of Geralt's Story But Not The End of the Series?

The Witcher series has been one of big adventure, big choices, and big worlds to explore. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt seeks to take that to the nth degree, even though it’ll be the end of Geralt of Rivia’s (the main character) story. As Senior Writer for the game Senior Writer Jakub Szamałek told IGN in an interview, “we felt that we owed Geralt a proper goodbye, and decided to part ways with a boom.” As other franchises have proved, it’s easy to keep a main character going in order to continue the series. However, The Witcher crew didn’t want to do that with Geralt. Szamalek added: “I think good stories must have an ending. You cannot extend them indefinitely, and we felt that Geralt has had such an amazing adventure, and his saga is already so long and complex that this seemed like a good point to think about an appropriate finale for the story.” Don’t think though that this is the definitive end for The Witcher game series.

As if the excitement level for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was not high enough already, CD Projekt RED dropped another amazing fact about the game recently. Once you purchase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, players will discover the game will have zero loading time. Speaking to Gamespot, CD Projekt RED developer and environment artist Jonas Mattsson revealed the amazing feature. However, there are some exceptions to the rule. It apparently involves a location surrounded by water, and it is far away from the rest of the open-world sandbox depicted in the game. According to Mattsson, “Exactly. Kaer Morhen [a region to the north]. That’s a separate small level as well there. But on the full open world, there’s no loading time. You can travel and roam around as you wish.” Mattsson added: “No, there’s no loading times. Only when you actually start the game, when you die and load the game, or when you fast travel. That fast travel loading time depends on how far you have to travel of course. If
