In an attempt to get players caught up on the deep world created by the Witcher series, CD Projekt RED has released a recap trailer for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt.

The video, told through comic book style animated stills, details the origin of Witchers and the monsters they hunt. Of course, if you're currently gearing up to play The Witcher II: Assassins of Kings, whether from December's Steam Sale or the Games with Gold offering on Xbox 360, it might be in your interest to avoid this video. Check out the trailer below:
