Probably the bloodiest Witcher 3 trailer yet

Heads up.

This new Witcher 3 trailer - any one sense a launch coming up? - may as well be titled "The One That Reminds You How Gory The Game Is".

Oh do the heads roll. Takes a little while to get going, but then - schnk! - limbs, heads and even torsos start coming apart like Ikea joinery.

It's not just splatter-gore - there's a good look at some of the game's monsters, and even a bit of playable character Ciri in ferocious action at the end.

Not one to watch with children, obviously.

The Witcher 3 will be released 19th May on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
