Title: Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
Year: 2015
Genre: Action-RPG
Developer: CD Projekt RED
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Languages: English
The players assume the role of the witcher known from the previous games. The main part of the storyline revolves around several separate threads such as the search of Geralt’s lost love and Nilfgaard invasion of the Northern Kingdoms. The players are also going to fight the eponymous Wild Hunt which haunted the wither both in novels and the two previous games. All of these main tasks offer a branched film-quality story, impressive scenes, and carefully directed cutscenes. Interestingly enough, the players can give up some of these tasks, however, they will have to face the unpleasant consequences of their choice. There are lots of side quests available in the game which together with the main plot offer over one hundred hours of gameplay. The developers took their time to provide a large variety of challenges. During the adventure, the players will explore a wide range of areas, including caves, ancient ruins, and bustling villages. They will also hunt monsters for profit and for special rewards, while some of the quests will include investigation. Each region of the world offers its own mini-games (e.g. knife-throwing tournament) with special prizes, however, beating them is not required for the plot to progress.
It's a real monster
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is looking promising indeed. Even the very first open environment, which is essentially a training zone giving you a rundown of the basic mechanics of combat and quests, is massive. By the look of the entire world map, the starting section is just a tiny fraction of the explorable area. That horse you've seen in the screenshots... yeah, you're going to be riding him a lot. Not only is the world vast, there is plenty of activities, NPCs to interact with, and monsters to hunt.
Experience Geralt's past and catch up on the Witcher's story
If you're reluctant to jump right into the into the Witcher 3, because, well, there's a 3 in the title and you're thinking there's probably a lot to know from the previous games, worry not. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt seems to give you plenty of opportunities to catch up on the story through flashbacks and interesting character dialogue. And those who are familiar with the previous games' events will get introductions to characters we haven't seen before yet have definitely heard much about them in the previous games.
Say hello to Ciri
Thanks to our buddies at Official PlayStation mag, we've got a first-look at the new playable character in The Witcher 3. Yup: playable. She's called Ciri, and she's Geralt's ward. Not his blood-daughter, but she's under the Witcher's protection. Not that she needs much looking-after...
Geralt will return… eventually
Coming hot on the heels of its slick new trailer, CD Projekt Red has issued some less-fun news for fans of Polish fantasy role-playing: the developer/publisher pushed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's global release date back to May 19, 2015. It's the second major delay for the title, which was originally set to release in autumn 2014. The 12-week delay from February 24, 2015 will be dedicated to squashing bugs across the game's grand open world.
