Watch Six Minutes of Gorgeous The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Gameplay
At the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, CD Projekt RED released this new trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The trailer follows our protagonist Geralt as he heads to the village of Downwarren and accepts a quest from a balding villager. Geralt tracks the evil that’s been offing the villagers through a swampy area and then a forest before being ambushed by some beasties.
The thing that stands out about the trailer is its sheer knock-your-socks off prettiness. It’s easily one of the most lush and convincing open worlds I’ve seen in a video game. It’s also an open world filled with vile dangers that keep you on your toes.
The video also takes a moment to show Geralt customizing his weapons and loadout. As in earlier The Witcher games, it seems like being prepared is going to be an important factor in staying alive. When Geralt is attacked by werewolves at the end of the demo, a potion he equipped earlier seems to come in very handy.
Sorry, CD Projekt RED has not uploaded the longer demo it showed at San Diego Comic Con yet. I checked. When it does pop up I’ll share it with you here.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is out February 24 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
