The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Cinematic Trailer
This cinematic trailer called “A night to remember”. In this trailer, we see Geralt of Rivia hunting another vampire-style monster on the outskirts of town. Besides it also details almost all abilities that players can use in the battlefield. You can check out the lyrics below:
Wolves all asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a-swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious, wide awake
fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths.
Birds all silent for the night
Cows turned in as daylight dies
But one soul lies anxious, wide awake
For the Witcher, brave and bold
Paid in coin of gold
He'll chop... and slice you
cut... and dice you
Eat you up whole
Eat you whole

The only goal is reuniting the Protoss factions and defeat the coming darkness before it consumes all life in the sector.
