CD Projekt Red on Monday released the launch trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and it is quite impressive. The lengthy trailer sets up the story and offers tantalizing teases about the locations you'll explore, enemies you'll fight, and lots more. And it's got a great song, too--Ben Howard's "Oats in the Water."
