The intro cinematic for 2015's hotly hyped open-world RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released next week, Polish developer CD Projekt Red has announced. The video is called "The Trail" and CD Projekt Red has released two teaser images, which you can see at the bottom of this post.

A countdown clock featured on The Witcher 3's website shows that the official reveal will take place on Friday, October 24, at 11:45 AM EDT. GameSpot will post the trailer as soon as possible.

We're expecting the trailer to be impressive, given the superb quality of work we've seen from previous Witcher 3 videos.

The Witcher 3 launches on February 24, 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. For more, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Calling me "a Witcher fanbot" would be undoubtedly correct.

They really don't need to show the opening cinematic. Leave a little to the imagination.

@Cryptic_Shadow Yeah, it's way too early for that sort of thing. February is still a long way off. I'm even more annoyed that they have the audacity to *tease* the cinematic with those images. It's not as bad as announcing when they will announce when they will post a screenshot meant to tease the teaser trailer of the actual trailer of the actual movie, but it's bad nonetheless. It's like they really want to rub it in our faces that their game is great, but that we can't have it yet.

Ok poll:


Who likes to watch these ahead of time and who likes waiting to just let it all sink in when they buy the game?


I'm the latter, yet I always sucker and watch anyway.

CDPR is giving too much away. They need to put the breaks on the hype train or it could derail.

I think I'll wait and enjoy it more when I first put the disc in and dive in.
