CD Projekt Red has been in the game for a while now. They have won the eternal love and adoration of gamers by coming out every few months to say that The Witcher will be totally DRM-free if that’s how you want it. Now they’re getting a new look, but I’m sure it’s also sans-DRM.
Sporting a fancy new logo, CD Projekt Red is also rebranding The Witcher 3. As they explain,
Putting the titular Wild Hunt in its centre, the new logo casts the spotlight on the mask of one of its ominous leaders—general Eredin.
The Wild Hunt has always been thought to presage war, great plagues and death. Their origin unknown, these ghastly riders instilled fear in the hearts of men and are believed to be able to steal people’s spirits that would later join the ghastly cavalcade. They come at night, in the winter and their appearance is always preceded by the aurora borealis.
In The Witcher 3, the Wild Hunt are not mere bosses at the end of a corridor. They’re part of the lore, part of the system of folk beliefs, they’re both something that children say stories about to scare each other and an entity that can wipe out entire villages in one night. The Wild Hunt is essential to the whole Witcher universe and in The Witcher 3 it will finally take center stage.
Here is the new Witcher 3 logo:
With the rebranding came the statement that more information about the game will be coming soon. Hmm, soon you say? Does that mean before E3? Nah, it’s fine, we’ll be patient and then drool all over the screen. I like the new design – it’s still a very clean logo, but this time adds a bit of a nuance and meaning. I’m actually going to be reading all The Witcher books prior to the launch of the game – anything to get more Geralt action in my life.

The books are great. You’ll be surprised just how true the game’s stories are to them.

Who writes them? Just curious to know if it is the ‘official’ story.

In that case I don’t know. 😛
You can get them at Takealot or even Exclusive Books if you want to be a tree murderer, or Amazon for digital.

My biggest decision around this game will be what preorder I choose. Decisions decisions. This is the only game I’m actively excited about.

I think after I’ve finished Spec Ops, Red Dead, Skyrim, the game should be out…

Yes, get cracking on that backlog. Although I don’t know why you’re playing such old games. *run*

Started Witcher 1 last night before the mad new games rush next week. I will binge play to finish it so I can get my saves ready.

For any one who has read the books Eredin is not that much of a mystery.

If this game is released with no day one 10gig patch or DLC my faith in gaming will be restored.

Support games with no DRM. What else can I say. The Witcher 3 is going to be really good.
