This game never ceases to amaze me. The pure beauty of the world design and natural environmental look that CD Projekt RED crafted for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is, at times, breathtaking. It’s easy to flesh out a gallery of screenshots worth hours of unblinking stares and wide-eyed leers, but in this case you’ll have to settle for a seven and a half minute video featuring a deadly side-quest.

GOG posted up the new PAX East 2015 gameplay video featuring Geralt taking on a Royal Wyvern. You can check it out below.

That Rob Van Dam’s hairstyle… nice.

The whole vampire-goth getup looked pretty snazzy, too.

I liked how the game puts a lot of focus on the varied skills and magic attacks at Geralt’s disposal. It’s not just about swinging the sword fast and hard. You have to utilize tactics in combat. I like that.

I wonder if people will complain much about it, though?

As for the other piece of news… CD Projekt RED and Microsoft have a special Witcher 3 themed console. You can scope out the image below.

No Title No Description

The image was spotted by Paradiger. It’s part of a special giveaway sweepstake that Microsoft is holding at the moment, where they’re giving out 10 free controllers and a special Witcher 3 themed Xbox One… the one you see in the image above. While it looks really awesome with the silver color scheme and neat Geralt design on the flat surface, it’s still rocking the aborted mid-tier specs from 2012 like that uncle who never let go of the 70s.

Even still, if you really like the livery and you want it bad… real bad… there’s a way for you to easily enter the sweepstakes right here.

As for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game is due for release on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC starting May 19th, 2015. Need more info? Feel free to hit up the official website, or check out a few of the still images from the trailer in the screenshot carousel below.
