The most promising game of the upcoming year just got even more tantalizing. Today in an interview The Witcher 3 senior visual effects artist, Jose Teixeria, revealed that the game will have 36 different endings.

Teixeria was quick to point out that he does not refer to them as endings but rather as “world states” as the game will continue after the main storyline quests are completed.

He alludes to the variability of certain villages being destroyed and certain characters being either alive or dead, which will all affect the world state that the player experiences. This hints that the element of choice will feature very heavily in the The Witcher 3.

The news is a sign that the developers at Cd Projekt Red are pushing the RPG to true next-gen levels. Where a lot of RPGs falter is in their low replayability. By providing a wealth of different conclusions to the game, players can be sure they will be coming back to this title time and time again, a feat that was just not possible on the previous generation of consoles.

This news is coming on the tail of a very strong showing for the game at this year’s E3, as developers held an impressive demo during the Microsoft press conference. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available February 27th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
