Monster Hunting In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

As the protagonist of The Witcher series, one of Geralt of Rivia's defining characteristics is also his profession: monster hunting. While the team at CD Projekt RED touch on this mechanic in past entries, tracking and killing creatures for a bounty is one of the pillars of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Watch the video below to hear gameplay designers Maciej Szczesnik and Marvin So explain how the new system will work and why they think it will help immerse players in Geralt's world.

  • any word on putting the first two on ps3?
  • Sounds good now let me beat the second one

  • This seems a lot like the Monster Hunter series, which I absolutely love. I haven't played any of the Witcher Series, so I'm interested to see how this would turn out. But from what I've seen in the video, it's very very similar in terms of crafting using monster parts and getting quests from notice boards. But, as a person who doesn't live in Japan, it's great to see any sort of Monster Hunter-esque things here in America.
  • i look forward to this game mroe and more ever day

  • Can't wait to see some gameplay for the game. I don't have a powerful enough PC, but someday, I will, so I can play the Witcher 2 and 3.
  • awesome. best video yet along with the ice giant...fraking anchor being thrown at you. anyway im getting more and more excited for this game. this might do for me what mass effect 1 did...which is make me get the next gen hardware. monster hunting is all im going to do.

    sorry to be harping the same stuff but can we please get the witcher 1 on console. i dont have the money for a pc and would much rather pay 40-60 dollars for it on my xbox

  • Going to be game of the freaking century!

  • Those videos are boring!!!!! They could do better ones.
  • Sounds great. I really do hope they add a lot of monsters. Monster hunting is going to be an important pillar for this huge open world game, I hope they add over 30+! Seriously, add more than that!

  • Doesn't Geralt have 2 swords, a silver one and a normal on, because I'm only seeing one.
  • monster hunting? count me in!

  • That cover in the article looks amazing.
  • This sounds amazing. Now what they need to do is sell a version of the game with an actual bestiary (like the Wizard's Companion for Ni No Kuni) so that you can page through the book to find the monster rather than go through screens on a pause menu. More immersion!

  • How about fixing the horrid controls, horrendous UI, annoying NPC voice scripting, weak mini-games and terrible looting mechanics from the previous games. Such an over-rated series.
  • This sounds more like detective work than monster hunting. It does sound appealing though, I'm interested to see how this turns out.
  • I can barely understand what their saying at times. But hopefully this game will be good.

  • <a href="google.com">omg awesome</a>

  • Oh God, this is gonna top even 2. Holy crap.
