The Golden Joystick Awards began at 10:40 AM EST today and it promised to bring the opening cinematic for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Consider the promise fulfilled.
There's so much in this opening cinematic there's a horse beheading, a raven flying into a man's eye then bursting out the back, Geralt, Vesemir and Yennefer. You have to check it out. Fair warning: There aren't many horses that make it out of this video.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. In The Witcher, you play as Geralt of Rivia, one of a dying caste of monster hunters, and embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far—the Wild Hunt.
Witcher 3 is set to release on February 24th, 2015, on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4.
