CD Projekt Red has just revealed a few more details about the save game import feature that will be possible between copies of The Witcher 2 and the upcoming The Witcher 3, even saying that it's in talks with Microsoft to allow Xbox 360 owners of the second game to import their choices into the Xbox One edition of the new title.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt promises to deliver the final chapter in the story of protagonist Geralt of Rivia and, like any great role-playing game, it will allow players of previous titles to import their save game files and experience the choices they made in previous adventures in the new story.

While this feature is easy on the PC, CD Projekt Red is in talks to allow Xbox 360 owners of The Witcher 2 to get their files into the Xbox One edition of The Witcher 3.

"We’re looking for ways to allow people to load their save games from previous instalments and put them into Witcher 3. This isn’t problematic for PC as we’re in charge of that situation and control it fully. We’re investigating the possibilities of transfer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and if it’s possible, we will move ahead with that," Producer Marek Ziemak told VG247.

In terms of what things will be imported, CD Projekt Red confirmed that many choices and decisions, but also things from their inventory, like gold, could be brought over to The Witcher 3.

"As for what to expect, players will be able to continue their progress, continue with the decisions made in storyline of The Witcher 2. They’ll also be able to collect some stuff from their inventory, such as gold, but we haven’t firmed up the full details yet. We’ll see. Things still need to fine-tuned and balanced."

The Witcher 3 is set to appear in 2014 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
