It seems that it'll be developed on a brand new engine Red Engine 3 with an open world 20% wider thatn Skyrim's, 30-40 minutes to cross world on Horseback. Geralt’s memory is restored, no chapters/acts; more quests involving from solving mysteries to slaying monsters. .

And above all...... it'll come on “all top-of-the-line” consoles!

Here's a list of features and enhancements we will see in the next game. Most remarkable are:

- Open wide world to be explored
- Main narrative: search for Geralt’s loved ones and conflict with the Wild Hunt
- Horses will be in
- No chapters, acts or any artificial break points
- No loading screens while traveling in the open world
- Exploration on foot, by horseback, and via boat
- Pursue your long-lost love, play the game of empires on behalf of the northern kingdoms that still claim independence, and thwart the nefarious Wild Hunt
- Fast travel: instantly revisit any discovered location
- Over 100 hours of hand-scripted quests
- There are mini-games based on the area of the world
- Enemies don’t scale to the player’s level
- Slaying monsters, fighting hostile humans in the different forms they come in, collecting items, leveling up are in the game
- World 40 times larger than the last game
- Three different aspects to narration
- Second step: political situation and Nilfgaardian invasion is resolved through the core plotline of the major areas (Skellige, Novigrad, No Man’s Land)
- Can abandon the storyline, but will have repercussions later
- Not doing a plotline is a choice the player has
- Weather effects are dynamically generated and fully modeled as real volumetric clouds rather than being simply painted on the skybox
- In contrast to the last game, Geralt encounters communities and individuals with monster-related problems that need solving
- Time of day and other conditions determine where monsters appear and their abilities
- Witcher 3 doesn’t have completely different environments based on singular choices due to the open world, but there are similarly impactful decisions
- You’ll be involved with mutually exclusive storylines and situations based on certain momentous choices
- Combat system: three big changes to solve the problem of being locked into long animations
- Every button press mapped to a single strike
- Each move takes a roughly equivalent time to perform
- Can always interrupt your current action to immediately dodge or block
- Can block/dodge when out of stamina, but you’ll be staggered
- Team wants to make the combat “more intimate”
- “You don’t run – in the Witcher 2 you were running constantly. You walk, but your attacks are very fast. Your opponents also walk but they have charges and things like that.”
- Geralt’s dodge roll replaced by a pivot move
- Armor has improved presentation and new cloth simulation
- Can visit a barber to change Geralt’s hairstyle
