The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will have no loading screens. The game will fully load when a player starts the game, and the only other time there will be loading is when a player dies or opts to fast travel.
"No, there's no loading times. Only when you actually start the game, when die and load the game, or when you fast travel," The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt senior environment artist Jonas Mattsson told GameSpot. "That fast travel loading time depends on how far you have to travel of course. If you just fast travel a little bit, it's a really short loading time.
"One of the goals we had was to keep the experience as fluid as possible. When you play, you don't want to have the loading screen because it takes you out of the game a bit. We wanted to make sure that it was as smooth as possible, one big experience. For us, that was really important. I think we achieved that because, as you said, just going in and out of a building, there's no loading time. Nothing. It's just creates this really nice experience."
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases on May 19th on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
