This is blurry. Someone take a screengrab of the Gamersyde video.

Until we get a clearer screenshot:

"We missed you!

Today we got a look at the third trailer for the witcher 3 wild hunt. We hope you liked it!

There's much more to the game that it's just impossible to show everything within two and a half minutes.
Most importantly, we showed you a preview of our 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 as their famous fortress, Kaer Morhen.
You also got a glimpse of the renowned bard Dandelion and the sorceress, Triss Merigold.
Emhyr Var Emhyreis, Emperor of Nilfgaard, the most powerful man in the world of the Witcher also made an appearance. Recognise 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 provide you all the information you need to know, and you'll start loving (and battling) characters in no time!

Also you've been asking many questions about gameplay features and we're finally ready to answer some of them:

Yes, you will be able to fight on horseback.
The crossbow. Yup, Geralt has a ranged weapon. Because monsters fly and you can't stab 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 and Percival. We'd love to hear your feedback on our forums, facebook, or twitter etc.

P.S. Have you seen the Witcher 3:Wild Hunt Collector's Edition video? What do you think of the figure?
P.S. If you still waiting for more, please be patient, we're just warming up!"

Welp, both GOG and CE are now mine.

5200 CZK, or 260 US dollars.

Never paid this much for a game.
But considering this is conclusion of saga that I have been a hardcore fan of since 1998, it will be money well spent. And CDP deserve every fucking penny.

Holy shit. I never played The Witcher but I think this trailer is absurdly awesome.

And it's remarkable that the devs can pull off such an incredible trailer (which looks and sounds like a movie) without taking a 'filmic' approach to the game, as opposed to many other devs.

So what are the black bars, then? I think this trailer looks amazing as well, but to say this hasn't taken a 'filmic' approach just isn't true.

Holy shit that was incredible and the game looks STUNNING.

I've never played the previous 2 (I have no way of doing so) but I will be jumping all over this shit.

Does anyone know if it will feature a recap for the PS4 owners? Or shall I just read up on the previous two games? Watch Youtube recaps perhaps?

I think it's time for a second proper playthrough of The Witcher 2 for me. I played it to completion on the 360 when it got ported, and loved every minute of the 80ish hours I spent exploring. I've built a PC since then- it may be time to experience it properly!

The hype is through the rooooof!

I was so amazed by the graphics that I almost failed to recognize Charles Dance.

The console versions will probably be censored, right ?

The trailer just got me to play the original Witcher battle music. Still great best thing about combat in that game.

Looks fantastic, great work CD Project Red. I think I've had this pre ordered for over a year now!

Lots seem to be posting that what we just saw isn't possible on consoles. May I present the 360 version of Witcher 2 as evidence that this team can and will provide us with a game on console on par with the trailer we just saw.

There's plenty of unexploited power and RAM in the new consoles. And these fucking lovely people will make use of it.

The conference said there would be a manual/book of some sort in each version of the game to bring you up to speed if you absolutely cannot get your hands atleast on TW2.

Sooooooo good.

Did they say what PC you need to run this thing 1080p 60fps?
I have 780Ti but judging from that trailer I dont think its gonna be enough.

My plan is re-reading all 7 books this year, and play through Witcher 2 on PC for a third time, right before TW3 comes out.

I will be taking 2 weeks vacation for this game. No kidding.

For some reason I find that funny, mostly because they did the exact same thing with the first game. No one is really up to speed on this series unless they read the books.

They are amazing as long as you get them in your language (not all are in english yet, but are in spanish for example) and have decent attention span.

I can't believe the first 5 books are available in German, but only 3 in English. Well, guess I'll get the German versions :)

Hi there!
Just a quick question, is my GTX 780 Ti enough for 1080p 60fps?
Im buying the game regardless.

Thanks for the heads-up. Still, I'm certain you'd respond like this anyway.
Unless the only reason was to avoid "ruffling feathers"

I think you would be okay if you just read a bit about Geralt and Triss. The rest is pretty much....

*Very broad spoilers, but pretty substantial ones.

The first game
Was really just reestablishing Geralt's place in the world after his death

While the second game dealt with
All the various machinations that resulted in the destabilization of the northern kingdoms. This resulted in Nilfgaard (Empire to the south whose ruler you saw in this trailer) beginning an invasion which is where The Witcher 2 ended.

Great show today, everything is exciting and shaping well. The editions are expertly done, as well as via GoG. My only complaint is that youtube's bitrate is too low to read your hidden message :p

Any info on actual PC specs would be appreciated

Don't think I have heard this before. Time to schedule some vacation days then.


It just hit me.. are we going to be able to revist the locations from previous games? Think we have already seen some screens from the Lady from the Lake location, right?

There are 7 books actually. Two short story books, which are great and introduce some main characters (Yen and Ciri among them). And then 5 book saga which is this sprawling awesomeness with Geralt and Ciri being both main characters.
