The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red is apparently finishing up development on the third Witcher game. The developer's co-founder and CEO – Marcin Iwinski – had this to say in a short e-mail exchange between themselves and Nerdacy.
“We are removing the final bugs and still running optimization in various areas. What it will result in is a smoother and more engaging experience and, yes, the game looking better across all platforms. The content is locked, so no content changes are being made at this point. The scale of the open world in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is unprecedented, so fear not – there is enough gameplay to keep you playing for weeks.”
This reveals that CD Projekt Red is already done with the game's main content and are now working on polishing the title. Considering that The Witcher 3 doesn't hit store shelves until May 2015, this should mean that the title is absolutely glamorous when it's finally released. If the previous Witcher games are any indicator, then this should prove to be true.
Iwinski then discussed Geralt, who is the main character in The Witcher 3.
“Having said that, Geralt is the main character whom you will be playing most of the time and he is the guy. We think that the introduction of Ciri as a playable character is a great way to allow gamers to see parts of the story from her perspective and make it even more personal.”
We're very excited to see what new character Ciri and Geralt have in store for us when the game comes out next year.
