The Witcher 3 Has 96 Animations Just For Combat

Speaking with Worlds Factory at Gamescom 2014, CD Projekt RED‘s Visual Effects Artist Jose Teixeira said that Geralt has over 96 animations just for combat in The Witcher 3.

 

That’s just the tip of the iceberg though, because Teixeira explained that they needed to do from scratch animations for swimming, jumping and many other things that Geralt just couldn’t do in The Witcher 2. This massive work paid off: we have seen the presentation and the result is mightily impressive to say the least.

The Witcher 3 already snatched our Best RPG@Gamescom 2014 award, and others might be on their way to CD Projekt RED’s booth. Stay tuned for the full interview with Jose Teixeira and our impressions from the new demonstration.
