CD Projekt Red took the stage during this year's Microsoft E3 Media Briefing to show off some new gameplay for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game's producers showed off some the game's combat, while showing off more of the gorgeous world.

The brief demo also showed off some of the game's dialogue choices, which were exercised after clearing off a village of bandits. Certain selections are said to intersect with open world events, creating new quest possibilities. The next sequence showed off a battle with a monstrous fire-breathing griffin, which had to be subdued with both melee combat and magic. The demo ended with a triumphant return to the village with the griffin's head.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is expected to release in February.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
