Last month, CD Projekt RED was rumored to be working on a demo to present for the press at this year’s Gamescom. And while the Polish company showed The Witcher 3 to the public at this year’s Comic-Con, there is still no gameplay footage revealed. Did CDPR lie about sharing the gameplay Comic-Con demo after the end of that event? Apparently not as the team will reveal that video next week.
According to dsogaming, CD Projekt RED will release ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’ gameplay footage next week.
CD Projekt RED also revealed that at this year’s Gamescom attendees will be able to enjoy – every 30 minutes – gameplay from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in a special cinema located in its booth (Hall 7.1, Aisle B, No. 32).
Do note that the gameplay that will be shown to its booth will most probably be the same with the Comic-Con demo. Moreover, our guess is that the ‘behind closed doors’ demo will show a different area (otherwise there wouldn’t be any point at having such an event).
Below are the game's previous updates:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the final chapter in the Witcher saga and will feature a seamless open world. In addition to a PC release, The Witcher 3 is also being released day 1 on the consoles. Check out the all new gameplay trailer below.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the final chapter in the trilogy of games based on the famous short stories written by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The original game was released exclusively on PC while The Witcher 2 received a release on the PC and Xbox 360.
With this announcement, fans can finally rest assured that CD Project Red’s promise to make this game the best RPG ever may come to fruition.
"The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious," said CD Projekt RED. "We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us."
"Consequently, we have set the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for February 2015."
CD Projekt goes on to apologize for the delay, but said the extra time will "prove to be worth the wait and meet the expectations you have of us."
"We believe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be an exceptional RPG, one of the best, providing many hours of wonderful entertainment.
The probable reason for the delay is that they wanted the "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" the best it could be.
"We have wanted The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to expand creative boundaries, set new benchmarks, develop the genre as a whole. Ultimately, you, the players, must get an unforgettable adventure to experience in a vast, open world - and that's most important. We've created a story that flows naturally, cinematically, rendered it in amazing sound and visuals, while preserving full freedom of choice - all for you."
The Witcher 3 has yet to announce an official release date but it points towards a 2015 release.
