About The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released on May 19, 2015, developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt. The game is an action RPG with open-world fantasy combat. Players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter across a 84-square-mile map. Combat uses swords, signs (magic), and alchemy. Unlike persistent online RPGs such as World of Warcraft, The Witcher 3 runs single-player only with no multiplayer. Progression comes from experience points, gear crafting, and skill trees. Two paid expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, add roughly 50 hours of extra content.
