Overview
Description

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.

Two centuries after the Avatar's last appearance, Britannia enjoys a fragile peace while magic wanes and mages go mad. A mysterious red-faced entity threatens the realm, prompting the Avatar to investigate murders, confront the secretive Fellowship, and uncover a plot to open a Black Moongate. The hero must destroy three blackrock generators, battle the Guardian’s minions, and ultimately shatter the Black Gate to save Britannia, though the Avatar remains stranded as a new age of danger looms.
