"It takes around 40 minutes on horseback to go from north to south, galloping in a straight line," says Platkow-Gilewski. The world will continue to teach you how to live in it long afterward. "That was the lesson we learned from The Witcher 2," he added, referring to how the Enhanced Edition for The Witcher 2 added a more forgiving opening section.īut The Witcher 3's lessons don't end after its tutorial. "There's a tutorial that will introduce you very smoothly to the plot and gameplay mechanisms," says Lucasz Babiel, QA analyst at CD Projekt Red. Yet the developer isn't planning on doing a Dark Souls and killing you left and right. "That's the hard way of knowing where to go."
"If are not ready, most probably they will die," laughs Platkow-Gilewski.
CD Projekt Red isn't going to babysit you as you peek into their lairs. He is a monster hunter by trade, and the world of The Witcher 3 is infested with all manner of hostile creatures. Not all of those points of interest will welcome Geralt with an open hearth and a pint of Mahakaman mead. We are not painting anything on the horizon." And for sure, there will be something interesting. "It is actually a mountain," Platkow-Gilewski continues. Part of this involves making it possible to travel to points of interest, such as mountains in the distance. "We created teams responsible only for the fact that this is an open world and needs to be perfect, seamless, without any point when you get bored," says Michal Platkow-Gilewski, head of marketing at CD Projekt Red, describing how the team staffed up to work on The Witcher 3. For Geralt of Rivia, life in the open world of The Witcher 3 should be anything but dull. But size isn't everything a world so large needs to be filled with things to do.
The game is massive in scope, with a world 35 times bigger than that of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and 50 hours of primary quest content, along with an additional 50 hours of side content. After watching a live demo and talking with CD Projekt Red, it's clear that the developer will need as much time as possible to fill The Witcher 3's vast open world with interesting and reactive content. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may have recently been delayed to February 2015, but it's seemingly for good reason.
