    Coincidentally, they've just released some new screenshots:

    Bursting with colours there.

    I need to get rid of a few games and get back to this, still not played the last DLC.

    Once I get rid of AC: Jack The Ripper and Until Dawn then I'll be back to this incredible game.

    As said, this game will go down as one of the all-time best. Originally I said I preferred the LOTR: Shadow of Mordor, but looking at the depth of the story, the characters it does exceed it (although SOM was a great game too).

    Just had a quick look, so there's potentially better deals elsewhere, but here's some decent enough prices:

    Amazon:

    £27.66 for PS4

    £28.49 for Xbox One


    Argos:

    Both are £28.99


    eBay:

    There's decent deals for new copies on both consoles, but the best I could see were:


    £23.75 (free P&P) on PS4

    £22.75 (free P&P) on Xbox One



    If you don't mind it being pre-owned

    CEX (the prices in-store should be the same):


    PS4 is £25

    Xbox One is £20

    Cheers, Moustache :50:

    I appreciate the effort you have gone to there to link all the pages. I'll be getting it off ebay I think, £22.75 seems cheap enough.

    I got mine from Gumtree pre-owned, £20, and that was last year.

    I ordered it yesterday and it was dispatched from Oxford today. Due to arrive in 10 days time.

    How the * can it take ten days? I google mapped it and it only takes 2 and a half days to walk from Blackpool to Oxford!

    The quest designer for the Witcher 3 did an interview with a German website in which he revealed some more details about Blood & Wine as well as some other general stuff.

    Seemingly it's been leaked that Boood & Wine will be out on May 30th.

    Just got Until Dawn out the way, so I'm thinking it might be time to return to Witcher and play the last DLC which I've still not started yet.

    Although maybe go for the Game of Thrones which I haven't played yet, just a little run of the 1st episode and then that'll be me prepped and ready to go.

    it was also leaked that gerallt will have his own vineyard, and you can dye witcher armour.

    havent played this in a good while since fallout and the division came out, but will probably go back to it once the next dlc is out. still havent tried any of the first dlc though!

    The DLC is amazing mate, get it played.

    I wasn't keen on GOT. Had really high hopes for it because it's my favourite show and I loved TWD Telltale series. But I got like halfway through episode 2 and chucked it.

    Love it. Think this'll be top class.

    There's a screenshot of the content section of the Steam page that mentions some of the stuff that'll appear in the expansion. There's nothing really spoiler-ish about if for anyone concerend about that.

    Also, we should apparently expect a trailer sometime soon, as the official embargo ends tomorrow.

    Still waiting on getting this delivered. My mate said it's a ridiculously big game and we're talking 100+ hours.

    What's the crack guys?

    When I finished the game I was well over the 100 hour mark, maybe even close to double that. In saying that, I was doing all of the side quests as well as most of the points of interest on the map. The main story itself probably in the 50-60 hour mark, although that's a bit of a guess.

    It's probably worth mentioning that they put out a bunch of free DLC, that includes a few additional smaller quests. So it's probably worth downloading that if you get the chance.

    Cheers mate, I'll download the DLC before I begin the game. I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth sunk into this.

    Yeah, I noticed after I completed it, that there was a fair few missions that I can download, sure I've downloaded them all now, so I'll maybe do that and get them out the way.

    It is one game I'm looking forward to going back to with these extra missions and the DLC's.
