Monster hunting finally comes to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Geralt of Rivera, the White Wolf, is a Witcher, a monster hunter. But beyond narrative concessions, there hasn’t been much actual hunting of monsters in a Witcher game. That changes with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. GameSpot has a video of the gameplay segment CD Projekt RED showed off during the Microsoft E3 presentation, where Geralt sets off tracking a griffin. Using his heightened senses, he follows the griffin through an area of the open-world called No Man’s Land, until finally coming to battle with the griffin. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the conclusion to CD Projekt RED’s Witcher series and releases for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on February 24, 2015.

Geralt of Rivia returns for one final hunt in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

CD Projekt RED unveiled the newest gameplay trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt during Microsoft's E3 press conference on Monday. While the trailer is pretty standard, showing off the high visual fidelity the series has been known for since The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, there are also several shots entirely in CG. Like their previous Cyberpunk 2077 trailer, CD Projekt RED managed to sneak a small message in the trailer right before the title unveil. Below is a screen capture of that message, but if you can't make it out, the entire message is posted below. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is due sometime in 2014 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
