"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will be out on May 19, which is still a month from now, but gamers can already pre-install and pre-load the game so the second it is made available to play, they can immediately embark on Geralt of Rivia's ultimate monster-hunting exploits.
Players can save up by pre-ordering the title from the Xbox Store. The game is priced $53.99 in the U.S. and AU$98.28 in Australia. Gamers can also purchase a "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" Xbox One bundle, which has a download code for the game. Buyers can choose to get Kinect or not with the deal.
The game is 25 GB in size and all sides of its massive world will take players 200 hours to explore. Just recently, game developer CD Projekt Red announced that the action role-playing video game has gone gold and is ready to be printed onto discs.
"We worked so d**n hard over the past three years to bring you this game," CD Projekt Red head Adam Badowski said, taking pride on the game studio's recent feat.
"From the corrupt nobles in Novigrad to ancient monsters lurking in deep forests, to the bustling cities, colorful ports and breathtaking vistas, all the people, all the places — we literally spent tens of thousands of hours to turn all that into an adventure that will kick your ass and make you want to come for more. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has gone gold and will soon be yours," he further explained.
Digital copies of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" are set to be released on May 19 at exactly 1 a.m. CET or 4 p.m. PDT or 7 p.m. EDT. The same goes for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of the title. Two post-launch expansion packs called "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine" are currently in the works, too.
