The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt revealed as 'next generation' RPG

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt outed by Game Informer

CD Projekt Red appears to be working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a new open-world entry in the studio's dark RPG series. Game Informer digital subscribers through Zinio can now access the March issue (seen here), which promises The Witcher 3 will take place in a world rivaling Skyrim and larger than any environments featured in the first two games.

CD Projekt's REDengine 3, which the company has said is built for the next wave of systems, will power The Witcher 3 and Geralt's distinguishing beard. According to the digital preview, The Witcher 3 is "for those wild dreamers who want it all."

We've requested further information from CD Projekt Red and will let you know when we hear (and see) more.

Update: Game Informer has published a quick video touching on the development team and the game's direction. Watch it after the break – and marvel at some truly breathtaking hair.

Update 2: The game's due in 2014, says CD Projekt, for PC and "high-end platforms."
