First screenshots from The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion

Thus far, The Witcher 3’s developers, CD Projekt RED, are being rather frugal with information regarding the game’s second expansion, Blood and Wine.

In fact, outside of the information offered in exchange for pre-ordering the expansion pass, all they’ve said in the past month or so is that it’s “awesome!”.

Fair enough, “awesome” is certainly a word we’d like to have associated with the game of the year’s second expansion, but we’d love to see it for ourselves – so we can call it awesome.

So, how about two teaser images? It’s not much, but it’s something.

The palace of Beauclair.

Toussaint is famous for its wine and vineyards.

If anything, we love the vibrancy and colours of these images.

“Blood and Wine, the second expansion for The Witcher 3, is on the horizon. It’s a massive new land to explore, visually unlike anything you saw in Wild Hunt or Hearts of Stone, and it too is brimming with stories we want you to discover,” said Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, CD Projekt RED’s game director.

The Witcher 3 was hardly dull, it’s foliage an exuberant green and its world awash with a great many hues and shades, but palette demonstrated is particularly eye-catching.

And Beauclair, capital city of Toussaint (the location for Blood and Wine) and built by elves, is a sight to behold, and that’s just an image – we can’t imagine its majesty up close and personal.

The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is scheduled to arrive during the end of 2016’s second quarter.
