Hi everybody! My name is Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and I’m a Game Director at CD Projekt Red. I’m here to tell you more about the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s Game of the Year Edition, which launches for PS4 on 30th August.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, both expansion packs and all the additional content we’ve released for the game are the result of five years of hard work that everyone at CD Projekt Red has put into creating a fitting conclusion to the story of monster hunter Geralt — a character that has become near and dear to our hearts, and the hearts of millions of gamers around the world. Having earned more than 800 awards, including over 250 Game of the Year awards, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the most awarded game of 2015, and we’re proud of that, as well as humbled by the reception the game got.
But even though the game has been out for some time now, there are still players who haven’t played it yet, or have been waiting for a single package and that moment has come.
The Game of the Year Edition houses all three chapters of Geralt’s final adventure. You will track down the child of prophecy across a war-torn world in the original Wild Hunt, face off against a seemingly immortal bandit leader in Hearts of Stone, and, in Blood & Wine, travel to the beautiful land of Toussaint only to discover the not so pretty secret it hides. Put together, it’s 150 hours of open-world adventure full of action, exploration, difficult choices and brutal consequences that will shape the world and hundreds of characters within it.
Alongside new storylines, the two expansions make sure there’s more of everything in the game. This means brand new regions to explore, expanding the world by over a third. With a bigger world come new side-quests to engage in, enemies to defeat and points of interest to discover, hiding powerful equipment. There are also new features expanding character progression, with Runewords and Mutations allowing players to alter their abilities to great effect, both in combat, as well as outside of it.
All of the free DLC packs we’ve released since launch to thank players for their support now come already packed with the Game of the Year Edition of the game. These include new weapons and armour hidden in the world, a New Game+ mode that will further challenge your monster hunting skills, even more GWENT cards, and additional outfits for Geralt’s companions among others. And they’re all immediately accessible as players traverse the lands of The Continent.
After launch, we took a lot of time to improve the game significantly, and many of these improvements came from player feedback. One such improvement, and a major one at that, now available from the moment you start your adventure in the Game of the Year Edition, is a new user interface. Switching between signs and items during combat is now faster and more intuitive. A new inventory grouping system lets you find what you’re looking for quicker. And because there’s so many things to see and do in the world of The Witcher 3, the map now provides players with more markers and filter types to better plan their adventure.
Featuring three massive adventures in one package, a huge open-world that is now bigger than ever, more of absolutely everything the game offers, every piece of downloadable content and all updates and improvements ever released, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition truly offers the ultimate The Witcher 3 experience.
Before I sign off, however, I wanted to thank the amazing community that gathered around our game and supported us over the years in our efforts to create the best RPG games. For that and so much more, from everyone at CD Projekt Red — thank you!
