No different particulars concerning the sport, together with a possible launch date, have been revealed, however the teaser picture included with the announcement suggests, as we already expected, that the brand new sport is not going to characteristic Geralt. The snow-covered Witcher medallion is tough to make out however is certainly not from the College of the Wolf.
