Witcher 3 - questions about game release, editions, languages etc.

As you all know, The Witcher 3 will launch in less than a month. If you have any questions regarding the game release on different platforms, versions, languages - or any other related - ask them here. Based on the most often asked questions we'll prepare FAQ trying to answer them

Also, I would like to ask to keep order in this thread and only ask questions, without discussing them.

 

[Kylestien]

I'll ask a few basic ones:

What languages will The Witcher 3 have?

Is there any in game difference between the different versions?

What platforms will it be out on?

What are the different editions?

Can you send me a free PS4 copy like right now?

Hi!

First of all, Thank you very much and Congratulations!

Second: Will there be a pre-download of digital copies from G.O.G. which exe file should still be locked until th 19th?

Have thought in the option to offer your moderators of your forum a earlier copy a couple of days before the official date? They will be exposed to a rain of spoiler that they really don't deserve I know this question has nothing to do with me, but I think they deserve to enjoy of TW3 in its whole dimension... as any of us.

Just based on looking around the forum, I suspect these questions might come up:

- What languages can we expect the game to include per region and platform?
- Will the game support 21:9 resolutions?
- When do pre-loads for PC and PS4 start?
- How can I convince you to give me the game right now?

What is the likely timeframe for the Redkit?

 

[Persei8]

How big is the day 1 patch?
Concerning the retail PC version, will there be any codes in the box?

Less of a question more of letting CDPR know. Yes we will support your digital expansions and digital free DLC. But we also want all the expansions and DLC in one packaging, at retail. I understand that more expansions other than those 2 announced expansions might be on plan. So when CDPR is done with all the expansions, please package them up and sell them in retail.

Why in hands-on controllers have displaced the KB+M? Will we, those who always play with them, not be able to enjoy a fluid control with KB+M? Must be worried?

 

[Sken]

What graphics presets are there, low, high, very high, ultra?
What high end graphics features can be enabled in ultra, please list all supported Nvidia features and advanced graphic options.

 

[Keth]

Reminder - only questions regarding release, platforms, versions, languages etc. - personally I won't be able to answer any other.

 

[dragonbird]

- What are the available languages for the console versions, by region?

- When can we expect the pre-load to be available for GOG/Steam/PS4?

 

[Gudrun.889]

1) What languages can we expect the game to include per region and platform? as per Dragonbird's post, with specific explaination about voice overs and subtitles part
2) Any plans for Linux and MAC
3) Are you fully convinced there is no way to leak any spoilers based on per-downloaded data? Or is there a risk?
4) Will your servers be ready on May 19th and that include forum server? We experienced some bad blackouts in the past
5) If the game is very successful would you consider different languages voice overs?
6)How you are going to reward forum moderators for their hard work and pain of a duty to deal with lots of spoilers after the release?
7) Will part of the team be allocated to Cyberpunk 2077 game after the release of the main game or all the team will continue to work on Wither Expansion pass?

Well last question will not be answered probably, but hey worth to try

Just added four more questions:
8 - Which regions will have Witcher 3 versions censored in anyway with a detailed explanation what will be censored and how?
9) As the release is at 1am Polish time, will all the RED team be on duty in the middle of the night?
10) Some asked why XBox One version per-download file is 25GB (30GB after install) vs 35GB for PS4. We know different resolutions, but can someone just explain what exactly takes less space, or is there a specific compression?
11) Would you know if NVidia and AMD will release Witcher 3 drivers? Are you communicating with them about it?

 

[moonknightgog]

When will preload on Steam be available?

 

[Frontovika]

IIRC, there was a delay in getting copies of The Witcher 2 to Canada. I'd imagine it's based on the English/French requirement for packaging.

Will there be any issues in getting the Witcher 3 on launch day in Canada?

 

[wichat]

I dn't know if you could answer this, but let me try it:
will there be a CDPR's tv comercial advise (all platforms PC included)? in Spain too? Or only Sony and Microsoft will manage their own market?

 

[dasega]

Yeah , if you answer question about pre download you will have half job done.

 

[scratcherpen]

Will there be any reward for player high difficulty levels? Like Dark sets on Dark mode for witcher 2. Are you planning to add new territorries such as Dol Blathana, Makhakam,Zerrikania and others in your future addons or that 2 new will be the last for now?

 

[dasega]

Yeah , if you answer question about pre download you will have half job done.

 

[scratcherpen]

Will there be Ukranian, Bulgarian, Hindu and asian dialects and other non common languages? Will there be any event /party for game release? Hope CDPR will get a little time to relax. They earn that. How soon PS4 and PC predownload(if they will occure) will be available?

 

[hamilcarBarca.196]

a big question:
Is it possible for the people who bought the game on steam to have a version of the witcher 3 on gog?

 

[Roccogrb]

Will every retail box version have the english spoken language even if its optional or will users who bought retail be stuck with the localization language of the place they bought in?

Will the retail PC version use Blu-Ray or DVD? If it uses DVD, how many discs will it have?

Will there be more CE being manufactored or the people that missed out on the CE be out of luck forever?
