The Witcher 3 has had a truck load of pre-release marketing material If I went through all of the trailers and gameplay demos, I'm sure we'd have hours and hours of content. So why not put on one final trailer for good measure? Unlike the other launch trailer, which was a pretty cinematic, this one is[...]

The Witcher 3 is going to be landing on Tuesday, and unsurprisingly, just about everyone I know is excited to play it From early reviews, it looks like CD Projekt Red might have knocked it out the park too, which is obviously pretty exciting.

The hunger for the Witcher 3 is pretty insatiable right now In a lot of ways, that is kind of surprising The previous games did well, but the franchise has never felt like anything this big. As if to illustrate that point, CD Projekt Red have come out and divulged that the game has hit 1[...]

The Witcher 3 isn't afraid to get down and dirty from time to time In fact, the smuttiness of the series is one of the things that gives it its own flavour You'll either buy into that or not, depending on how you like your sex portrayed. Well, Conan O'Brien appears to have had some kind[...]

The Witcher 3 is just two weeks away and at this point, I feel we have seen a lot of the game In video clips, trailers, behind the scenes videos and screenshots, the sheer volume of content that has hit is already staggering Although, I suppose when your game is over 200 hours long, you[...]

He is a wonderful actor and it is great to see he has had a bit of a resurgence after his turn as Game of Thrones' Tywin Lannister. He's stepping into a new medium though, taking on his first video game role in The Witcher 3 He'll be playing the role of Emhyr var Emreis, ruthless[...]

While people can say the Witcher 3 is about a lot of things such as sleaze, fantasy or open worlds, when you get down to its core, it is about the monsters The Witchers themselves sole purpose is to rid the world of dangerous ghoulies, beasts and giants. That's all this IGN First video is concerned with[...]

Last week, a pair of DLC were announced for The Witcher 3 It's not rare for extra content to be revealed just prior to a game's release, but the distance here sure is unusually large.

We learnt a little while ago that the current estimation to complete The Witcher 3 was 200 hours, if you sprinkle some side quests and collecting on the side of the main story That number seems ludicrously huge, and for those strapped for time, quite intimidating. We've now been given a look at the other end of[...]

We've assumed for a while that the world of The Witcher 3 was going to be big However, we never really knew exactly how big. Novigrad is a whole fantasy realm, but there is only so much space you can put into one game this detailed, right? Well, while we don't have any reference of scale, this[...]

The Witcher 3 is starting to sound ridiculous Not only is it going to take 200 hours to complete, the size of the world, activities and exploration all seem off the chart CD Projekt Red really are trying to build a world for you to exist in That's as exciting as it is terrifying. You're not[...]

The Witcher 3 has been looming in the distance of my schedule for a while I have every intention of playing the game to completion, but it's clear that is going to be a pretty serious challenge.

This is a weird story as yesterday I was literally wondering why video game character's beards don't grow during the time a game takes place. Well, it turns out that isn't going to pry on my mind in the Witcher 3 Speaking to German outlet Gamestar, (via VG247), CD Projekt Red said that Geralt's beard will[...]

Nvidia's GDC conference happened last night and the most impressive game on show was this look at The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. It's just a few minutes of the developer walking around an open area, but these are the kinds of things that tell you what playing the game is actually like, as opposed to carefully choreographed[...]

I'm genuinely quite excited about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The game is looking gorgeous and the open world, vast.
