Witcher 3: Wild Hunt recap explains what the hell a witcher is

Witcher 2 free on Games for Gold

With the May 19 release date, everything’s sort of filler from here on out for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, be it eye-boring crows or a straight half hour of gameplay.

This animated video offers a bit of background on magic in the world and what a “witcher” is aside from a word we are all okay with because we’ve seen it for a few years now, even if we haven’t played the game.

I’ve yet to crack into the first two Witchers (the second is now free with Games of Gold), but I’m terribly excited for The Witcher 3‘s open world. I’m okay with picking up lore—or not–as I go along. I just want to chase monsters and fight things.
