CD Projekt Red has announced that the opening cinematic for the highly anticipated next Witcher installment will be released shortly next week during the Golden Joystick Awards Ceremony, where the game itself is nominated for "Most Wanted".
New Witcher Graphic Novel 'Fox Children' Hits Next Year
If you're interested in helping The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt reach that goal, you can help them by voting on the awards here. That category has some stiff competition, among the likes of Evolve, Metal Gear Solid V and Super Smash Bros, but Geralt will survive no matter what. He's been through worse.
Anyone who doesn't get to attend the event or watch it online, never fear. The opening cinematic, titled 'The Trail', will be posted at thewitcher.com/thetrail. Currently the site has a handy little countdown clock so we can sit and wait for greatness, as well as two new wallpapers, one of which is currently gracing this author's desktop.
Let Us Explain The Witcher Adventure Game To You!
If you are unsure why this is a big deal, you clearly haven't seen many trailers or cinematics for CD Projekt RED games before.
For my money, the opening cinematic to The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings is the single greatest opening to a game, yet. This is film-worthy. If you haven't seen it- watch it now. If you've already seen it- watch it again.
Amazing, isn't it? Now think of how good Cyberpunk 2077 was as well and just imagine what we will see...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will launch February 24 2015 for Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
