Witcher 3 - Interview @ VG 24/7

VG 24/7 has a new interview with CD Projekt Red’s Mical Gilewskito to ask him a few questions about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt this week.

Despite the open nature of the setting, Gilewski said that Wild Hunt will still feel like a Witcher game, even though the developer hopes to attract a new audience to the series.

“For me this game is a little bit more like The Witcher 1 – the whole story revolves around you,” he offered. “With The Witcher 2 it was more about politics. Here, everything revolves around The Witcher character. It will appeal to all the fans – this focus on Geralt and making him the real protagonist of the story.

“One of the lessons we learned from the Witcher 2 was that people didn’t have to have played the previous game but they got the impression that they should have.

“We are starting from scratch but at the same moment making sure all the fans are going to find a lot of familiar elements – NPCs, places, story – some connection. We are introducing them in a way that if you don’t know them you will not feel that you’re missing something. If you do know them, it it’s us winking at you.”

As a bonus here is a short video recap of EGX 2014.
