'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' Release Date News: Features Low Loading Time, Lots of Griffin Challenges

There's been a huge buildup to the launch of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt." While reviews of the latest installment in the gaming series are yet to come in, many industry insiders are certain that the game will be noted for its uniqueness when it comes out on May 19.

Recently, sources revealed that the game will not have extensive loading times even though the open world game is much larger than the world featured in "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."

With many games being bogged down due to loading times, it is welcome news that "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will only have a loading time when players die in the game, when they start playing and initially load it, or when indulge in fast travel between locations.

This means that when players go into a particular area like a bar, they will not have to encounter a loading screen and will immediately find themselves immersed in the happenings in the bar just like they would in the normal world.

Reporting on the minimum loading time in "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," GameSpot said when players use the fast travel option to traverse large distances, they will have a bigger loading time compared to when they use the option to cover short distances.

The developers at CD Projekt Red, which is responsible for creating the game, said the short loading time creates a much more fluid experience for gamers and makes the world of the game "one big experience."

The game map is huge. Players start off in White Orchard, then they can head over to Novigrad and Velen/No Man's Land, which together make up a huge open-world. There is also another open-world that is of the same size and it is named Skellige Isles.

For those interested in slaying Griffins, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is going to feature a number of them and each will be a challenge for players. As for trolls, there are about 11 of them in the game.
