[h=1]New Witcher 3 Screens Are Totally Wild, Gameplay To Last 100 Hours[/h]
CD Projekt Red has released a slew of new screens from its upcoming, next-gen, story-driven RPG
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In them, we're treated to a visual tour of the chilly islands of Skellige while getting a glimpse of Geralt on his search for his loved ones. In addition, fans have learned exactly how much play time they can expect from the game and it's sounding like they're going to have to create some free time on their schedules.
As you can see, the screens are pretty impressive, but CD Projekt Red points out that they come from an early version of the game as the team develops a new renderer that will be used in the final version of Wild Hunt, which is slated for release in 2014 for "high-end" platforms including the PlayStation 4. I've uploaded all of today's newly-released screens to the
GT Facebook page right here and highly suggest you take a moment to give them a look while letting us know which ones you "LIKE" the most.
In addition to the screens, CDPR let it be known that the main narrative in The Witcher 3 will account for around 50 hours of of gameplay in one playthrough and that the additional stories will add another 50 hours of role playing, taking the game to a total of around 100 hours.
Here's what else CDPR had to say about the game today:
“The Witcher 3 is full of impactful decisions, and gamers will choose between storylines that exclude one another in a single playthrough, ensuring extensive replay value. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt crowns the trilogy with the main narrative, revolving around Geralt’s search for his loved ones and his conflict with the Wild Hunt. As players travel through the game, they visit lands with their own unique atmosphere, communities and memorable characters. CD Projekt RED didn’t create an open world with a singular theme, but concentrated on delivering diversified and engaging environments, 30 times larger than those in The Witcher 2.” said Adam Badowski, head of CD projekt RED sudio. "This setting changes depending on gamers’ actions not only when completing Geralt’s personal storyline, but also because of his involvement in major local plotlines in each land visited and many other carefully-designed side quests. All threads of this player-crafted tale interact with each other and the world, creating an even more nonlinear experience than ever before."
