A couple of hours ago, CD Projekt RED unveiled the E3 2014 trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. As usual, the Polish team has included a hidden message at the end of the trailer for its loyal fans, and below you can read the full transcript of it. According to CDPR, The Witcher 3 will let players swim and sail, as well as explore the underwater world – that is said to be huge and rich.

Here is the transcript:

We’ve missed you!
Today you got a look at the third trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We hope you liked it!
There’s so much more in this game that is’s just impossible to show everything withing two and a half minutes. Still we tried :)
More importantly we just showed you some of the main characters
Geralt’s close friends and some of the last witchers remaining in the world – Vesemir, Eskel and Lambert – will play a big part in the game, as well their famous fortress Kaer Morhen.
You also got a glimpse of the —ned bard Dandelion and the sorceress Triss Merigold.
Emhyr var Emreis, Emperor of Nilfgaard, the most powerful man in the world of The Witcher also made an appearance. Recognize his voice?
And then there was Ciri!
And Yennefer!
By the way, if you’re new to the series, don’t worry, the game will introduce you into all you need to know, and you’ll start loving (and hating!) characters in no time!
Also, you’ve been asking us many questions about gameplay features and we’re finally ready to answer some of them – so here it goes:
-Yes, you will be able to fight while on horseback
-The crossbow. Yup, Geralt can use ranged weapon. Because sometimes monsters fly and you can’t reach them.
-Remember swimming and sailing. You’ll be able to dive and search for a lot of hidden stuff too. There’s a whole underwater world to discover.
-Horse racing anyone?
You also got to hear more music from the game. This particular track was composed by Marcin Przyby?owicz & Percival. We’d love to hear your feedback. Fire away in the comments or on the game’s Facebook/Twitter/forums. Remember, we’re always listening, even if we’re not getting back to you.

PS. If you’re still waiting for more (you are, right?), please be patient. We’re just warming up.
PPS. Have you seen the Collector’s Edition video? What do you think about the figure?
PPPS. We’ve just announced a closed multiplayer beta of The Witcher Adventure Game ——– & let the GOG.com guys —— you.

    day 1 buy. no doubt. this is just one developer you support on pc no matter what.

    • Warrior88

      Completely agree with every word you said….in fact every PC gamer should!

      • PcRules

        +1, so true!!

    • Squinty

      Yep. I won’t preorder because it’s against my policies, but I will buy this on day 1.

    • cloudkill22

      Yup, totally agree.

      Can’t wait for this!

      After the Witcher 1 came out, they announced the Rise of the White Wolf, which was intended to be the enhanced version of Witcher 1. Guess what? Consoles only!

      The PC version of Witcher 2 has console interface and console combat system. Don’t forget about bad optimization and a lot of bugs on release.

      The fact that they gave Enhanced Edition to everyone is because PC version was like an early beta. If you’ll buy one of the games on Steam Early Access, you will get the release version of this game too, no?

      You may want to support Valve, Tripwire, Paradox, Firaxis, Bohemia or even Creative Assembly (before Rome II), but I don’t understand why support CDPR “no matter what”. They’ve done nothing for PC.

      • cmoyano

        not at all. retarded argument. no game will ever release without issues. witcher 2 had its issues yes, its a small studio. on top of that, many many developers throw out unplayable games, do they give you an upgraded version of the game for free? drm free? free dlc? those three points are enough to support them. they respect the pc community, they dont treat us like diry and leftovers.

        they ve done a lot more than a lot of developers have for pc. weather you see it as that or not, its not my issue. bohemia interactive? you mean that shitty badly optmized day z? rome 2 was a total mess. xcom had its issues as well, and you cannot compare ANY of those games to the scale and ambition of the witcher series. yes, i will support them day 1, no matter what, cause they have proven to be not only a respectable developers but one who respects its community back and is always there to back them up. guess what? wticher 2 outsold xbox 360 version.

        interface was fine, all those points are subjective. if they want to reach for a bigger crowd to get their game across, let them, nothing wrong with that. their pc games are still PC first and will always be.

        edit: guess what? they didnt get witcher 1 on consoles. we also got an enhanced edition of witcher 1. also, u get a discount on witcher 3 if you own othem on gog, you get a free gog copy if you buy it on steam. seriously? do i need to go on?

        • SGTBuzzyBean

          In my opinion having played the game with both KB/M and the 360 pad, the interface feels much better with the KB/M. It’s much better to manage the inventory by dragging the items and you also don’t need to use the sign wheel to use the different signs. They probably added that for those who play with a gamepad.

        • Nines

          not at all. retarded argument. no game will ever release without issues.

          It was not just issues. They even added intro and outro. It was a beta test.

          And in case you didn’t noticed those issues were on PC only. Console peasants got the most polished and optimized game. They also paid only once.

          on top of that, many many developers throw out unplayable games, do they give you an upgraded version of the game for free?

          Usually yes, they just don’t call it Enhanced Edition. They call it “fixes” and “patches”.

          bohemia interactive? you mean that shitty badly optmized day z? rome 2 was a total mess. xcom had its issues as well, and you cannot compare ANY of those games to the scale and ambition of the witcher series.

          Bohemia – Arma.

          Creative Assembly – Total War series (tell me about scale).

          Firaxis – Civlization series, Alpha Centauri, Pirates! Ever heard of Sid Meier?

          yes, i will support them day 1, no matter what, cause they have proven to be not only a respectable developers but one who respects its community back and is always there to back them up.

          After the Witcher 1 came out, they announced the Rise of the White Wolf, which was intended to be the enhanced version of Witcher 1. Guess what? Consoles only!

          Very noble, indeed.

          interface was fine, all those points are subjective.

          It was subjective, when I said I don’t like the interface. But that didn’t change the fact that the pc version of Witcher 2 has console interface.

          Simply because it’s a game for consoles, while PC players were just testers.

          guess what? they didnt get witcher 1 on consoles.

          They didn’t made it because of financial problems, not because they didn’t want to.

          u get a discount on witcher 3 if you own othem on gog

          It’s a common practice on Steam.

          you get a free gog copy if you buy it on steam

          You get a free copies on Origin, if you own EA games on Steam.

          do i need to go on?

          If you want to.

          • mamabicho

            lol beta testers. just so you know, since you seem to dont know, enhanced edition was a free upadte, no need to buy it again, so i dont know what you are saying. the reason the game came out polished on consoles is that MS charges a LOT for patches, they even said it, if you ever read news about the game.

            CDPR said they just wanted to get the console version out with all the isseues resolved in orderto not have to pay for the ridiculous MS prices, and guess what? it still sold 2 times less than the pc version, at this point is prbably 3 times less.

            and no, your EA origin argument is completely invalid since that was a transition. GoG.com is legit and so is CDPR with their discounts. Somuch for steam eh? 60 dollars on witcher 3 pre order, i can get it for 33 on GoG.com cause i own both witcher games. GoG galaxy will be a cross play OPTIONAL client.

            Why dont you take the hints? CDPR does not just say NO DRM, OPTIONAL CLIENT, DISCOUNT, etc for fun, they dont just throw words around for nothing.

            Oh and es, t your retarded its called patched and fixes argument. BF4 is still unplayable, Watch Dogs has shit performance issue, all these developers claiming PC first yet they launch borken ass games. Witcher 2 was not broken, it had issues, but it was playable and even nerfed forthe casuals who coudlnt deal with the difficulty.

            again, i can go on and on about how CDPR is a much better developer than most, but you seem to be stuck on the fact tat Ubisoft and firaxis do a better job. Civilization has always been a good PC game and not a very hard one to optimize if you ask me. a bigger scale rts like rome and shogun suffer from massive issues.you have no arguments against CDPR but you seem to hae defensive ones against truly shitty developers who bullshit and lie to their consumers.

      • OvidiuGOA

        wow that is one of the dumbest posts i have seen here. I have nothing but respect for CD Projekt RED, Gog.com is great, gog galaxy is gonna be amazing and their stance on DRM is to be admired. Not to mention the two great games they made.

      • Stian Kleppe

        You may want to support Valve, Tripwire, Paradox, Firaxis, Bohemia or even Creative Assembly (before Rome II), but I don’t understand why support CDPR “no matter what”. They’ve done nothing for PC.

        I’d say gog.com is a good thing for PC gaming. Saying anything else is just stupid. They directly opposing DRM is good, for PC gaming in it’s entirety.

        And about The Witcher 2, you never played TW2 did you? Navigate the inventory system without a M/K and you’d want to kill your self within the first 5 minutes. Something that is a bit sad, as there is quite a bunch of PC gamer’s who enjoy sitting on the sofa, with a controller. Only reason for it? The UI was focused on PC.

        I played both TW1 and TW2 from day 1. I didn’t have many issues with TW1 on day 1 beside the terrible loading times. The main, important thing they changed with Enhanced Edition was reducing those loading times with a couple of 100%(imagine if others bothered doing this with their game, like Creative Assembly, but they don’t do that, much praise for them for not actually fixing the mess they made, and this isn’t limited to Rome 2, Creative Assembly games have always been a buggy POS at release, Shogun 2 was fairly good, but didn’t really become what it is until the first paid DLC came around).

        For TW2, the game was great before Enhanced Edition, the game became even better when they released Enhanced Edition. They added content, and made gameplay improvements, something they didn’t need to do, as the game was more then playable, and actually a good game, before EE came along again.

        If every company would do like CDPR we’d all be better off, you know it, I know, and every one with a slight amount of common sense would know it. They don’t nickle and dime everything they see. And guess what? They’ve grown a big fan base because of it.

  • peek peek

    yep, cdprojekt red is a no bullshit developer when it comes to PC. support, support, support!

    • kostas

      yea, but you (your avatar i mean) didnt play the game, that the polish prime minister gave to you.Shame.
