Why the long face?
We've seen some pretty dumb glitches during our time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but nothing particularly nefarious.

Complete with eerie music and dark, stormy...

News New Witcher 3 Gameplay Makes Conan O'Brien Hot Under the Collar
Steamy
We're pretty envious of American comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien right now, because he's had a chance to get stuck into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
