In an interview with Red Bull, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Level Designer Miles Tost has reiterated CD Projekt RED’s commitment to keeping the game “completely DRM free.”
“You’ll be able to purchase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PC on GOG.com from day one,” he said.”We believe that DRM does more harm to legit gamers than good for the gaming industry, that’s why the game will also be completely DRM-free.”
Tost is also honest about The Witcher 3 appearing only on current-gen hardware saying “How can you make next generation RPGs on old generation hardware?” According to Tost the world of The Witcher 3 is approximately 35 times the size of The Witcher 2 with most of it being created by team rather than randomly generated. “The team are actually making everything by hand,” Tost explains, adding, “Yes, we do use middleware to help us with certain aspects of the game, but quests, for example, are always done by hand – special cells within the studio create them, test them and see how fun they are. There’s no random generated Fedexing in the game, everything is as meaningful as it can.”
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
