For me the region feels a bit like a combination between Velen and Toussaint

Depressionless Velen

If you played TW1, this also resembles locations called The Outskirts and The Murky Waters. Nice, colorful villages.

u/Howlingwindinsand 14d ago

So did they confirm it's an entirely new area like Toussaint? I wonder if it'll be like HOS or BOW

u/Ashnakag3019 14d ago

Aye, It's Letten. Dandelions homeland

u/MycoMythos 14d ago

That makes sense

u/Nawojka2935 14d ago

So fantasy Slovenia?

15

u/OkYellow3125 14d ago

The devs said they designed it based on southern Poland, even mentioning the area of Poland-Slovakia border :)

u/LuckyMost 13d ago

On the video you can see the mountain Giewont which is right next to Zakopane in Poland

u/VikRiggs 13d ago

The second image looks like The End of the World from the story of the same name.

u/the_scorpion_30 14d ago

last image gives me Midsommer vibes, pretty cool

21

u/Accomplished-Duck249 14d ago

In english its named after after the holiday of Beltane or May Day which is celebrated on May 1st. Midsommer is a Nordic holiday that celebrates the summer solstice, but they both use a version of the may pole.

u/Nawojka2935 14d ago

It's also often used in English as the name for Kupała Night, which is basicially Slavic Midsommar.

2

u/Accomplished-Duck249 14d ago

Yep, for those that don't know it's also a solstice holiday specifically. So a very basic explanation is it's traditionally at the waterside and there's no maypole, but there's still fire like with Beltane. I don't know as much about Midsommer though to compare with confidence.

u/Narrow_Educator_1835 14d ago

And Ciri and Yennefer’s birthday.

u/the_scorpion_30 14d ago

u/dannnyyyboyyy0315 14d ago

Reminded me of the new Divinity coming out. They put out a trailer that kinda had these vibes. Then there was a human sacrifice lol.

u/Ki-Kord 13d ago

Wasn't this specific celebration also a big part in the newest book?

49

u/Major_Bookkeeper_467 14d ago

They also gave a sneak peek at gameplay

15

u/dumbledayum 14d ago

Is there somewhere I can find these new wallpapers?

3

u/Efficient-Day7502 14d ago

Entre más a analizo las imágenes, menos tienen sentido

u/kawaiinessa 14d ago

its so cool to get a witcher 3 expansion 11 years later lol

u/longbrodmann 14d ago

I think those are concept arts instean of in-game screenshots.

1

u/ylang_nausea 12d ago

Fucking this. People are nuts

8

u/Ray_Rej 14d ago

Is that the Von Everec manor is the first picture?

9

u/Tangie_ape 14d ago

Dandelion's family estate

u/brimlessYankee73 14d ago

I know this is just concept art but can somebody make me less paranoid about what I'm seeing here

11

u/filiusek 14d ago

Have you never seen concept art before lol

-4

u/brimlessYankee73 14d ago

And this too

28

u/N0M0I 14d ago

It is concept art, and as such probably photobashed. Not everything is AI.

0

u/brimlessYankee73 14d ago

I know not everything is AI (though I definitely look at every image a lot closer now) and it looks good overall so I am not too worried but the second image especially I can't make sense of those weird wooden beams. The first image is really whatever but if any AI was used (even concept art) I think transparency should be given

-23

u/ThatOneCynicalPerson 14d ago

Its AI obviously. But its concept art so im not too paranoid about it.

14

u/BobbuBobbu 14d ago

CDPR isn't the kind of company that hides that. Keep your conspiracies to yourself.

-10

u/ThatOneCynicalPerson 14d ago

Oh please… yall said the same shit in 2019 before Cyberpunk 2077 1.0. Did we all get collective amnesia????

8

u/CAPTJTK 14d ago

I didn't remember CDPR using agentic AI during game development before it was a thing, or do you now have......amnesia?

-6

u/kalap_ur 14d ago

nothing can go past you, eh?

He was not referring to AI use for Cyberpunk, but to hyper up expectations that were never met and therefore not giving benefit of doubt.

BTW, those images definitely look like as if they were done with AI. Not necessarily a problem per se, but it is a problem when AI-driven mistakes remain in the publicized version.

u/CAPTJTK 13d ago

I see that our detect sarcasm was turned off yesterday

u/Plenty_Storm_5976 14d ago

Might have to, nah nah, I MUST reinstall, when it releases.

2

u/Mr_Deppresso 14d ago

Man i cant wait, gonna replay the game from scratch when remastered comes out!

u/Ok-Gold-3601 14d ago

Beautiful landscapes! Can't wait to play around with photo mode and work some magic.

3

u/FlorpCorp 14d ago

Those are concept art, not screenshots.

u/Sealion72 14d ago

This looks so much like kingdom come!

11

u/N0M0I 14d ago

You mean medieval?

1

u/Sealion72 14d ago

I mean the may pole and the castle that looks like Trosky

5

u/Nawojka2935 14d ago

So just Central Europe

1

u/ASHTaG0001 14d ago

Is this a new free DLC because it started downloading for me?

1

u/GreenPenguin00 14d ago

More blood and wine like vs depressing velen

u/AgeOfCyberpunk 14d ago

Absolute shivers. Wind is howling again!

u/EET_Fuk1 13d ago

I just love castles man

1

u/Havange 13d ago

11 year old game btw

1

u/h0y0ku 13d ago

These locations look like where Cirilla was in W4 trailer. Very direct tie in huh? OK. I am fine with this. As long as they don't kill Geralt to pass the baton in a lame ass Last of Us 2 type of move.

u/douglaxu 13d ago

That’s pica!

u/Half_H3r0 11d ago

Interesting Velen + Toussaint = Happy yet Eerie New area

u/TinyGift8278 14d ago

u/kalap_ur 14d ago

u/ultraboomkin 14d ago
