However, it's unclear who the second character will be –– Geralt mentions Ciri, a woman who has "Elder blood" in her veins, and the trailer shows a white-haired woman running through a forest. A second woman supplements Geralt's narrative with her own, while the trailer's last seconds show another man fighting alongside Geralt.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases Feb. 24, 2015 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
