The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt boasts an amazing 36 possible endings. That might seem daunting, but rest assured that all of those endings are actually more like end “states,” determined by how you chose to complete certain quests. There are actually only three main endings, and the one you get is decided largely in the final stages of the main story. Here’s a full guide to The Witcher 3 endings.

Beware! This guide is riddled with spoilers!

Witcher 3 Endings:

The final quest is always called Something Ends, Something Begins. How it plays out is determined by your choices leading up to the end, and the main factor that differentiates them is what becomes of Ciri. In this final quest, Ciri will either become a witcher, become empress, or die. The outcome is determined by the choices you made during the following quests:

  1. Blood on the Battlefield
  2. Final Preparations
  3. The Child of the Elder Blood
  4. The sidequest chain, An Eye for an Eye, A Deadly Plot, Redania’s Most Wanted (Act Two) and Reason of State (Act Three).

The best ending (according to me): Ciri Becomes A Witcher

Whether or not Ciri survives her battle with the White Frost all comes down to her self-confidence. If Geralt’s choices gave her confidence in herself, one of the two endings where Ciri lives will be achieved. To get the one where she becomes a witcher, the following choices have to be made:

  1. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “I know what might lift your spirits” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  2. Do not bring Ciri to visit the emperor.
  3. During the Final Preparations quest, urge Ciri to go alone to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  4. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “go for it” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  5. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “Yeah, I’ll go with you” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: To achieve this ending, you must follow step 2. You only need to choose at least 2 out of the 4 other options.

Ciri Becomes Empress

This ending’s also about Ciri’s self-confidence. To achieve this outcome, the following choices have to be made:

  1. During Blood On The Battlefield, bring Ciri to visit the emperor.
  2. Complete the sidequest chain of An Eye for an Eye, A Deadly Plot, Redania’s Most Wanted (Act Two) and Reason of State (Act Three). To unlock Reason of State, you’ll need to be nice to Dijikstra and give him information about Ciri when you go to his bathhouse for Philippa. You’ll also need to side with Roche and Ves against him at the end of the quest.
  3. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “I know what might lift your spirits” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  4. Say “Didn’t do it for coin” to the emperor, refusing payment from bringing Ciri to him.
  5. During the Final Preparations quest, urge Ciri to go alone to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  6. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “go for it” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  7. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “Yeah, I’ll go with you” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: Steps 1 and 2 must be completed to achieve this ending. At least 3 of choices 3-7 must be made.

Ciri Dies

This is probably one of the most depressing endings to a game I’ve ever experienced, so I don’t recommend it. But if you’ve got your heart set on misery, this ending is all about making choices that cause Ciri to feel self-doubt. This means she will die during her confrontation with the White Frost.

  1. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “Relax, you don’t have to be good at everything” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  2. Accept payment from the emperor for bringing him Ciri, if you chose to visit the emperor.
  3. During the Final Preparations quest, go with Ciri to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  4. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “calm down” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  5. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “no time” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: You need to make at least three out of the above five choices to trigger the sad ending.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.

Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
