The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a unique combination of non-linear storytelling and open world – a fantasy RPG focused on player choice, tactical combat and a vibrant and immersive environment.

STORY

The world is in chaos. The air is filled with tension and the smoke of burned villages. The mighty Empire of Nilfgaard has struck again, ravaging the helpless Northern Kingdoms. The once-powerful who tried to use Geralt for their own gain are now gone. In these uncertain times, no one can say what future holds in store, who will bring peace to the world and who will cause it only misery. But a force darker and deadlier emerges. The petty men and women commanding tin-plated armies fail to understand that their conflict is child’s play compared to the Wild Hunt, the otherworldly threat which now looms.
