14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at CD Projekt RED might be working hard to put the finishing touches on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but the team still found time to join forces with some of the best cosplayers in the world in order to launch a wide-ranging contest that encouraged fans to create complex characters and scenarios in order to get access to a range of prizes.
The winner of the competition is a gamer named Kevin who has created a very complex and interesting Eredin costume that manages to bring the monster to life with plenty of details.
The official site states, “Thanks to the master craftmanship of detailing and forming, it’s hard to believe that our Eredin is not wearing a metal armor, but a mixture of plastic, leather and foam. It’s especially worth to take a notice of the rust effect covering entire armor, which makes it truly look like a ghostly hunt rider.”
All the entries that CD Projekt RED has selected for the competition are impressive when it comes to detail and post-processing, and a full rundown of the winners and their prizes is offered in a blog entry.
Fans of The Witcher series have always been very dedicated to the world of Geralt and his companions, and the effort put into the cosplay is a good sign for the fortunes of The Wild Hunt.
After a delay, an ambitious open world is ready for launch
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set to be offered on February 24 on the PlayStation 4 from Sony, the Xbox One from Microsoft, and the PC.
The game is the last one in the current trilogy focused on Geralt and will deal with an important relationship from his past, while also asking him to protect the world from a very powerful supernatural threat.
The development team at CD Projekt RED is for the first time implementing an open world structure for the game, with a world that’s bigger than that of the first two installments taken together.
The player and Geralt will also be able to influence the factions around them in new ways, and in addition to the core story, there are also many side quests to explore and monsters that can be hunted for glory and profit.
The studio has also improved the combat system, making the main character more reactive and introducing smarter enemies that can adapt their attacks to the tactics of the gamer.
