A number of past characters will also be making appearances, but they’re in a ”different situation” from their Witcher 2 days which followed on from a terrible war. Spoilers abound.
What the writers reveal of course give away events that occurred at the end of the second RPG, so it’s best to avoid if you’re yet to sort out that ruckus with Geralt.
The video interview is available over at Game Informer. Brief highlights: Geralt has his memory back, it’s a huge open world spanning many environments, there’s a big ”sprawling dark fantasy metropolis” - all without a loading screen. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases on PC and ”all high-end platforms available” in 2014.
