Earlier this week, online news hub Kotaku speculated that the upcoming March issue of Game Informer would announce the arrival of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The conjecture has since been confirmed by the magazine.
Thanks to a download of the March issue, available to some digital subscribers of the magazine, the appearance of Geralt and an elusive companion on horseback had CD Projekt RED’s RPG-loving fans casting their own illusions of what was to come for the game’s newest installation. Among the predictions, as Kotaku broke the story, was a post by forum member and Zinio subscriber “Indigo_Cyclops”, who listed an inside look at what was yet to come on a NeoGAF thread.
Descriptions included travel by horseback—a necessity for traversing an open-world—which was also allegedly 20% bigger than found in Skyrim, no chapters or acts, new streaming technology via CDRED Engine 3, and the restoration of Geralt’s memory.
The following announcement by Game Informer actually boasts a setting 30 times larger than its predecessor, thanks to a new REDengine 3 technology that is making its first appearance with this latest title. Check out the full version of the March issue cover and its additional artwork below.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will continue the series run on PC as well as “all high-end platforms available”, leaving nothing much to the imagination of fans anxious to experience the nuances of this action-packed series.
