The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Polish: Wiedźmin 3: Dziki Gon) is a fantasy open-world action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt RED.[1] Announced in February 2013, it was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 19 May 2015.[2] The game is the third in the series, preceded by The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which are based on the series of fantasy novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
