The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is almost here, so soon you’ll be able to venture into its dark, Game of Thrones-style fantasy world for yourself. But in the meantime, this new trailer shows you exactly what you can expect on your journey. There are dragons, beautiful sunsets, sword fights, ancient ruins, and a whole lot of decapitations. It’s a healthy mix. It’s the third game in the series, but the first to take place in a massive, dynamic open world that really feels like a living, breathing place. “Believability is a really big thing for us,” level designer Miles Tost tells The Verge. You’ll be able to explore it on May 19th when the game launches on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
