Did you listen to Blood and Wine's theme? A night to remember is ALMOST confirmed
My friend it's confirmed at the top of this page with @Burza46 post :cheers2:
Unless you mean a quest just like A Night to Remember? Good chance we'll have something very similar, you can count (Dracula) on that.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but in the earlier games, Geralt has a bite mark in the exact same spot the Vampire in this trailer bit him. So if this is Toussaint, it must have happened in the past.
Good catch!
That pretty much confirms that events from A Night To Remember trailer happened BEFORE The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
I hope we will get this quest more or less exactly like it's shown in the trailer, with the song in backround...Damn, this would be one of my favorite quests.
And i would like to see a decision at this point- if we want to kill her on not.
As a higher vampire - she doesn't need blood to survive... maybe she was harmless.

Yeah, I'd also love a quest similar to what was depicted in the A Night to Remember cinematic.
I believe we have already seen what very well might be BaW's version of this quest in the preview footage with what appears to be a fight with either a female higher vampire or Bruxa

I have a theory about this -
What if times have changed, as Geralt says in the cinematic for 'A Night to Remember' "Times have changed" This leads me to believe their is a coven of vampires or a few rouges who actively seek blood for pleasure, sport and it is what is currently plaguing Toussaint. This could be only one part of it however, I do feel that this will come up in the expansion one way or another, as a main thread in its story or a few side quests.

Na, not even close to the trailer quest, because this bruxa was already slaughtering people.
The one from the trailer did nothing ( we dont know more atm).
Sure, she was not friendly but only because geralt came into her territory and said he wants to kill her

Hm don't know.
I agree, there are even some (spoilerish) videos on youtube about that.
That line "the times have changed" refers to him taking up the contract. "no witcher would have taken this contract in the times of past..." "The times have changed"...
Your theory may be plausible, but I think that it has nothing to do with "sport", but with the urgency of the situation. Geralt has to fight her, so the line refers to him, not her
The expansion is going to be very vampire centred. For instance, there was leaked screen which showed a red haired vampire, which is very likely an alp. I believe we will see more than one Bruxa/Alp during the 30 hours. Wouldn't be surprised if there is another Bruxa encounter more similar to the night to remember trailer. Regarding the story. One of the descriptions said that the "beast" targets the military elite and the nobles of Toussaint, which makes me believe it's more than just a few vampies killing for pleasure. This kind of coordinated attacks with that specific target sounds more like they are trying to take over the state. Maybe a group of vampires asked themselves why they should live in the shadows any longer? Toussaint is a weak state without an army and more or less defenseless and it would make sense to try to overcome the gouvernment if you want to be in control. Once in control, they would have an efficient way to "satisfy their pleasures"

Yes, that would be interesting.

Also
Woman in the trailer isn't Bruxa (compare sonic attacks) most probably, and one shown in gameplay videos is.

Yes, that's how I understood it as well. Times changed so much, that Geralt is willing to take a contract for a higher vampire. I wonder though what exactly the change is. Geralt not getting enough contracts?
Geralt not getting enough contracts would be no change at all from my understanding of the books
As usual, it can be interpreted in countless different ways. "Times have changed" does not necessarily have to represent a whole era in my opinion. It might be just a remark that this particular situation is different. Geralt has probably heard of higher vampires killing people many times in his life, but has not considered hunting them down just for the sake of it. And not simply because they are powerful and dangerous; we also have to note that higher vampires are not ordinary monsters, they may have their reasons and can be quite humane as is well known from the books. Perhaps this time, this vampiress went on a gruesome killing spree that made Geralt feel an obligation to act? Maybe someone important to him was involved (like in the Dandelion/Priscilla situation)? And also, Geralt is no "ordinary witcher", we know that he is quite empathetic, so this might indeed be the case. "Got other things on their mind" and "they paid me for you" fits nicely here. He is hesitant, but probably feels an obligation to do something to stop the horror.
In my opinion, it all depends on what the trailer was intended for. I don't know if we should consider it as a standalone "story" or as an actual trailer for Toussaint? If it is the latter, then we can only guess because we don't know the whole story, but this interpretation remains if you ask me. Something dreadful has started happening in Toussaint and Geralt, after being summoned, decided he had to do something about it. And I dearly hope that, if there is such a situation in the expansion, it is very ambiguous and not just "another contract" type of thing.
Bear in mind that I wrote all of this because this is what I hope to see in the expansion
If there is such a situation, I hope we get to see the vampiress' story and all of her reasons for doing whatever she has done. Maybe even choose to defend her from the people who paid for her death, why not if she was justified. Maybe our witcher can make another vampire friend
Yes, as I said in the other thread, if they put this story in the game, I hope they preserved the ambiguity of the trailer, and it can be as good as story of Abigail in TW1 or even better. But they might not put it in the expansion and it will remain a standalone trailer story. Time will tell
It would be quite difficult to preserve all the aspects from the trailer but if they made it, I hope CDPR managed to at least come close. We can only hope
Personally, I would be totally fine with that. The cinematic story is phenomenal in and of itself and does not need to be further expanded. Having an extra interactive story would be great, but I will not shed a tear if there isn't anything similar to this. It might be even better if it remained just a story portraying witcher's reflection on his opponent's rationale and justification and the difficulty of making a decision and dealing with the consequences. I would have no problem with that whatsoever. In fact, maybe I would even prefer if it stayed this way.But they might not put it in the expansion and it will remain a standalone trailer story. Time will tell
Yes, I feel that A Night To Remember is so well done, that making it into an interactive story can make it worse, unless they'll put a lot of effort into it.
Is there a possibility that this whole story happened looooong before Witcher 3? Im asking this because Geralt's in-game character model has bite marks from teeth that punctured his skin in the EXACT same spot as in the trailer.
You can see that the bite on his shoulder/neck area fits almost identically to that of the bruxea that bit him in A Night To Remember trailer. I think he even carries the same mark in Witcher 2.

Yes, if they won't put it in the game, then this story could have happened any time in the past.
Good Question, i would like to know the reason too.
Not so pessimistic
Hm could be possible. But i think this wasn't his first vampir contract - so it could be done from another vampire too.
But that would be really weird for me... making a witcher 3 trailer about something that happened before witcher 2 ?
