The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the upcoming new game in the critically acclaimed series, and though the game does not have a release date set, co-founder of the game's developer CD Projekt Marcin Iwinski answered questions about the game to IGN that sheds some light on what users can expect from the epic next gen game.

Iwinski clarified that The Witcher 3 can be played without any prior experience with the series, but some of the lore of the game will be lost on new players:

"People do not need to play The Witcher 1 or 2 before they jump into Wild Hunt; it's perfectly fine. The game has a great introduction that will make them feel right at home, and we're working really hard to communicate this fact. Each game has had its own story, but if you've played through both the games, or have even read Andrzej Sapkowski's books, you'll be privy to a lot of stuff others may not get. That being said, the story is still very capable of standing on its own."

The executive also discussed how CD Projekt has worked hard to make sure each quest is unique and fun for players, and how the development team wants to avoid generic quest types:

"In The Witcher 3 you won't have generic Fed Ex-like quests where you have to go here, fetch something, and then deliver it to someone else. Of course, you will have orders or side-quests to kill beasts, but we're trying to put a unique spin on every single quest. We want to make the story meaningful, but at the same time, if you wish you explore the game world at your own pace, it will be possible to do so. We want the game to feel natural, and we want players to be able to discuss their unique adventures with their friends."

Most interesting is the fact that The Witcher 3 will have a huge amount of endings that players could end up with, and that players may be changing the game's story without even knowing it:

"All the time, and I think this differentiates us from other games out there. We don't tell you what matters and what doesn't, as your actions in the game speak far louder than words. I mean, there are 36 different endings in Wild Hunt."

It looks as though The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt could be the first true next gen RPG when it is released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
