The Witcher is becoming a game! A board game, more specifically.
Without explicitly announcing a comic book adaptation of The Witcher series, CDPR has announced a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics meant for "fans of the fantasy genre."
Cinematic trailers rarely have much to do with the game they advertise because, well, story rarely has much to do with games. A new cinematic trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, however, seems a fair representation of the moral dilemmas and mass murders we expect from CD Projekt RED's RPG, just prettier and slicker than the game will be.
Though CD Projekt RED has only released two video games, it's fast become one of the studios I'm most excited about. And now it's growing. The Polish developer today announced it's opening a new studio in Kraków, which will be helping out on its jolly exciting upcoming RPGs Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is releasing on next-gen consoles, and CD Projekt Red is going to attempt to release free small DLC on consoles. Larger expansion packs would, obviously, cost money.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is meant to finish off the story of Geralt of Riva, and developer CD Projekt Red is hoping to end the series in a big way....
Is no surprise that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming to Xbox One too, given that developer CD Projekt RED was vague about platforms when announcing for PlayStation 4. What was both surprising and delightful, however, was that the confirmation during Microsoft's pre-E3 press conference also brought the open-world RPG's first gameplay trailer.
We may have a long wait for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ahead of us, but at least we should get plenty to keep us busy until then. CD Projekt RED today launched The Witcher 2's promised modding tool set, the REDkit, so hopefully all sorts of wonders and oddities are coming and heck, we can all make our own too.
"There will be 36 different endings," Adam Badowski, managing director of CD Projekt RED, said about the upcoming Witcher 3.
