Easily my most anticipated action/adventure/RPG game. I want it and I want it MEOW!

Geralt is such a bad ass. I hope it takes visual fidelity to the next level.

New trailer.

I'm assuming this only applies to PC digital pre-orders, but you can get an additional 5% off with each Witcher game you own. If you didn't know, you can take the CD key from your Steam copies of The Witcher and redeem it on GOG.com.

So here's the hidden message from the end of the trailer (via reddit):

We've missed you!

Today you got a look at the third trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We hope you liked it!

There's so much more in this game that is's just impossible to show everything withing two and a half minutes. Still we tried

More importantly we just showed you some of the main characters

Geralt's close friends and some of the last witchers remaining in the world - Vesemir, Eskel and Lambert - will play a big part in the game, as well their famous fortress Kaer Morhen.

You also got a glimpse of the renowned bard Dandelion and the sorceress Triss Merigold.

Emhyr var Emreis, Emperor of Nilfgaard, the most powerful man in the world of The Witcher also made an appearance. Recognize his voice?

And then there was Ciri!

And Yennefer!

By the way, if you're new to the series, don't worry, the game will introduce you into all you need to know, and you'll start loving (and hating!) characters in no time!

Also, you've been asking us many questions about gameplay features and we're finally ready to answer some of them - so here it goes:

• Yes, you will be able to fight while on horseback
• The crossbow. Yup, Geralt can use ranged weapon. Because sometimes monsters fly and you can't reach them.
• Remember swimming and sailing. You'll be able to dive and search for a lot of hidden stuff too. There's a whole underwater world to discover.
• Horse racing anyone?

You also got to hear more music from the game. This particular track was composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz & Percival. We'd love to hear your feedback. Fire away in the comments or on the game's Facebook/Twitter/forums. Remember, we're always listening, even if we're not getting back to you.

PS. If you're still waiting for more (you are, right?), please be patient. We're just warming up.

PPS. Have you seen the Collector's Edition video? What do you think about the figure?

PPPS. We've just announced a closed multiplayer beta of The Witcher Adventure Game -------- & let the GOG.com guys ------ you.

Am I the only one bothered that Geralt was fighting the griffin with his steel sword in that final cutscene?

The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition getting exclusive physical content on Xbox One

The Xbox One version of The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition is to receive additional physical content unavailable in the PS4 or PC versions, Bandai Namco has announced.

Exclusive to Xbox One, the collector's edition will now contain a physical cloth map and two Gwent card decks, allowing players to play The Witcher 3's in-game card game in real life.

"Gwent is an amazing game and we're really happy to be able to bring it to the physical realm with Microsoft's help," said CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin Iwiñski. "Now we've got Gwent in every copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as an in-game experience for free on every platform, and a physical version in the Xbox One CE, how awesome is that?"

"Gwent is a fast-paced card game that can be played within The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on every platform," added the studio. "Invented by dwarves and perfected over centuries of tavern table play, Gwent is a game of initial simplicity and ultimate depth, something beloved by both road-weary travelers during long nights around the campfire and elegant nobles looking to liven up dragging dinner parties.

"The game is about the clash of two armies locked in mortal struggle on a battlefield where the players are the leaders and the cards their forces. With four different factions offering unique combat styles and endless paths to victory, Gwent is every adventurer’s first choice when it comes to one-on-one card-based dueling. Take risks and think on your feet, strategize and deliver cunning combos, use potent magic and mighty hero cards and be the last one standing on the field of honor!"


The Xbox One collector's edition now contains:

• The standard edition of the game, containing: the official soundtrack, a beautiful and detailed map of the in-game world, unique stickers, and the developer-created "Witcher Universe - The Compendium"
• A giant, 33x24x26 cm, 100% hand painted, Polystone figure of Geralt of Rivia battling a Griffin
• An exclusive, collector grade Witcher medallion
• A one of a kind SteelBook
• A two-hundred page artbook, containing breathtaking art from the game
• A cloth map of the game world
• Two Gwent card decks
• Huge outer and inner Collector’s Boxes you can store your Witcher merchandise in!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launches on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in February 2015.

What's the price of the CE?

The map is huge for this game. Can't wait for Tuesday.

All signs pointing to this being a sneaky GOTY pick. Console graphics comps have been pretty lackluster, however.
