The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - News Roundup

I found a few more article that post a few quotes from CD Projekt RED about The Witcher 3. Most of them are just parts of a different interview, but may be interesting to read.

Examiner -"World of The Witcher 3  on track for 2015 release"

When compared to previous games, Wild Hunt is much bigger in terms of world size. When asked if the world of the game allows the development studio to explore all the lore of The Witcher series, Krzemiński shared that while Geralt is the central character, the world itself dates back a thousand years and numerous stories could be told. As such, the development team chose to tell the tale of one of the biggest forces in the series’ universe; that being the Wild Hunt. Find Krzemiński’s full comment below:

"I think it’s not like that. The Witcher lore is not something finite, it’s not a set of tales, rules, and characters. It’s a world, with it’s own myths and tales. Geralt is the central character of the games and books, but the world dates back so long that you could go back a thousand years and spin a totally different tale if you wanted. In Wild Hunt we’re taking on one of the most predominant forces of that universe--the Wild Hunt."

While discussing the development of the game, Krzemiński shared that the title remains on track and that the game will be launching on Feb. 24, 2015. The game will face tough competition that month as Sony releases two major PS4 exclusives: The Order: 1886 and Bloodborne. You can read Krzemiński’s statement regarding the release date below:

"Yes, we’re on track with everything and launching February 24th, 2015."

Lazygamer - "Is The Witcher 3 going to be be a disappointment?"

As I’ve been saying for just about ever, The Witcher 3 is sitting pretty, right at the very top of the increasingly large pile of game’s I’m terribly excited for. It’s been delayed once or twice now, and will finally be upon us in February next year, a week or so before my Birthday, if you had any gifts in mind. According to a random person on the internet though, those of us eagerly awaiting the second coming in RPG form might be setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Worldsfactory - "CD Projekt: There Will Be No Downgrade For The Witcher 3"

Even though CD Projekt enjoyed a full fledged honeymoon with both the press and the community so far, the last few days have sparked somewhat of a commotion in the community, particularly on the official forums and on Neogaf.
