That sound you can hear is PCs up and down the country whimpering at the idea of rendering The Witcher 3 in 4K. For the majority of us unable to perform such a feat, here's an idea of what it might be like courtesy of CD Projekt RED's recently tweeted screenshots.

In other recent Witcher happenings, a five minute trailer expanded on the game's realism, maturity and unicorns. In addition, CDPR announced the game's post release plans—with two expansions planned.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is due out next month, on May 19.

Editor-in-Chief

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
