The Witcher at E3
CD Projekt announced today that it will be showing its
upcoming PC role-playing game, The Witcher, to select media
at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, held May 10-12 at the
Los Angeles Convention Center. Media in attendance will get
an in-depth look at the various aspects that make The Witcher
one of the most anticipated entries in the role-playing
genre, including the dramatic story, the tactically deep and
intense real-time combat and the incredible technology used
to bring the world to life. CD Projekt will be conducting
demos in its booth, #6415 in Kentia Hall.
Scheduled for release in Spring 2007, The Witcher puts
players in the role of the mysterious and legendary Geralt of
Rivia, the most prominent of witchers, a brotherhood of
mercenary monster-slayers. Players will embark on an
enthralling journey set in the vivid universe created by
multi-million-selling author Andrzej Sapkowski; a world in
which the lines of good and evil are virtually non-existent.
With more than 250 abilities to select, The Witcher features
extensive character customization, further enhancing the
intense real-time combat system which -- coupled with the
engaging story based on Sapkowski's books -- creates a
refreshing modern take on the traditional role-playing
genre.
