35 minutes of The Witcher 3 to melt your face off

Yesterday, I wrote about the preview of the Witcher that we were shown at Gamescom. I had some rather nice things to say about what I’d seen. I avoided much of what happens towards the end of the demo though, because it’s perhaps a little spoiler laden – though I’m not sure spoiling one quest out of hundreds is really that much of an issue. Anyway, you can watch the whole thing yourselves now.

CD Projekt released the demo as a video yesterday, allowing you to see it in its entirety.  CD Projekt also shared some of its post-Gamescom numbers.

  • We have been visited by a whopping fifteen thousand fans who came to see the demo of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
  • Our booth was visited by more than than one thousand journalists
  • We gave away twelve thousand t-shirts
  • Thanks to the awards we got during the expo, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has garnered over 150 awards!

The video will take up about 35 minutes of your time, but if you’re one of those incredibly eager Witcher fans, it’s well worth the investment. It should also help tide you over until the game’s release on new consoles and PC in February of next year.

Just like the actual booth demo, it comes with developer commentary, so you’ll be on the witchin’ down-low.  Once again, spoiler warning – but take special note of that amazingly twisted character design towards the end.

    Oh wow man. This is very tempting, but I can’t do it. I just can’t! It’s like seeing a beautiful model that you are going to marry but having to wait months before you can ‘introduce’ yourself. The antici… Pation would be too much #foreverSP.

    Don’t watch it. You will feel sad at the end because A – there is a spoiler, B – you couldn’t decide the outcome, C – you don’t playing the game, D – realizing that you still have to wait 6 months.

    Damn it just watch the video. You will get to see Ciri at the end.

    CD Projekt gave us 40 minutes of gameplay including E3. Really shows off what this game is about. 100 hours – 40 minutes = way to much story has been shown.

      6 months and 4 days. According to my maths that’s close to infinity.

    Most of what has been shown so far is in that video. Just the ending where you can make a choice in the outcome of the mission. So no need to watch it. But you have to watch it.

    I just don’t want to watch this… I hate how they spoil the stories of games lately with these videos where they show how people play. I just KNOW there will be a spoiler. I mean for me a spoiler is seeing what the road to a city looks like… xD

    Can’t wait for 15th Feb 2015

      I’m sorry but this might be a spoiler to you. The Witcher 3 release date is the 24th of Feb 2015. It will be a Tuesday and the weather about 26 degrees high, sunny.

    This is the RPG I am looking forward to. Dragon Age is on my “maybe…. will get it if I find it in a second hand bin” list (because EA), but THIS…. THIS IS THE GAME I WILL GET THREE COPIES OF! THREE COPIES!!! ONE FOR MYSELF, ONE FOR MY BROTHER AND ONE FOR THE VAULT.
