Are You Ready For The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Opening Cinematic?

CD PROJEKT RED is such a tease, releasing a press release for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s opening cinematic countdown page. Yes, a press release to signal the countdown to an opening cinematic where I’m sure we’ll see another press release come out telling us where we can link to it on YouTube. But wait, There’s More! They say.

CD PROJEKT RED has a call to action while you are eagerly awaiting the this reveal, see they know you want to see just what happens to Geralt in this final chapter of his journey, and that is to “Go vote for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at the Golden Joystick Awards” where the game is in the running for the “Most Wanted” category. Is it your most wanted upcoming video game or maybe you are eagerly awaiting another game like say perhaps Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, No Man’s Sky or many more. At least we can thank CD PROJEKT RED for not saying they’ll only release the opening cinematic if they win, that would be downright garbage if some company would do that.

So keep your eyes peeled on http://thewitcher.com/thetrail as you only have 8 days until the big reveal. Could it be the most epic thing you’ve ever seen? Will your eyeballs melt? We won’t know for sure until that countdown is over but hey if you’re feeling really saucy you can even pre-order The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt right from that page. After the last little bit of footage we saw during E3 2014 I’m curious to see just what this opening cinematic looks like. CD PROJEKT RED really knows how to make some good looking trailers and this style continues with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
