New The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt video depicts prologue gameplay

The Witcher 3

CD Projekt Red have today released a video full of gameplay footage for their upcoming game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The trailer has been posted via Microsoft’s Xbox account but it shows the gameplay from the PC version of the game. The game runs smoothly at 60 fps which is pretty cool. However, a big letdown for the Xbox One and PS4 owners as the game will run at just 30 fps on their consoles.

The nine minute long trailer sheds some light on one of Geralt’s early quests. At the behest of a merchant, he is sent to receive a mysterious box from the swamps. The game lives up to what is expected of the series as Geralt is given several choices on how to resolve the quest. However, we are shown one of these choices and the end of the video teases what seems likely to be a main plot thread.

One can see that CD Projekt Red have put in a lot of effort in order to perfect The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s environments. I disagreed with the choice taken, and was clamouring to see the alternative endings. I guess, I do not have to wait very long as the game will release within a month.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released on May 19 for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4, and will be followed by two major expansions.
