Despite being expectedly awful, the VGX awards did at least herald a new stampeded of gaming trailers and announcements. At the head of that pack was No Man’s Sky, which charged through the wilderness on the back of a procedurally generated spaceship. Telltale confidently filled out the herd with two new additions to their family: Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands. But by far the prettiest beast on show was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The prettiest, and the most on fire.
Watch this brand new video showing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in action from the VGX Awards. Striking stuff. But a ship made from the claws of dead men? Er, guys, dead men don’t have claws. They have fingernails. Gross.
Disgusting fingernail ships aside, The Witcher 3 is primed to be one of the most exciting games of next year. The series made a huge jump in quality between the first and second titles, despite some lingering combat quirks.
Looks like CD Projekt RED has a beautiful fantasy tale in store for us! It’s been a challenge putting all that open world goodness together with “the same intense feeling/experience that you got in The Witcher 2“, said game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. But this is the kind of challenge the Polish developer loves.
Seems like 2014’s so far away … here’s hoping CD Projekt announces a definite date soon. This will be a PC, Xbox One and PS4 title, when it launches.
