A new gameplay video from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has just appeared, depicting not just new footage from the role-playing game but also one of its new voice actors, Charles Dance, who previously brought to life Tywin Lannister in the Game of Thrones TV series and played in movies like Dracula Untold.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set to debut next month, and developer CD Projekt Red has already shared quite a lot of details about the main mechanics and even a loose overview of the story, which completes the saga of protagonist Geralt of Rivia.

The new RPG takes Geralt to new locations and through some interesting adventures, and some of them deal with Emhyr van Emreis, the emperor of Nilfgaard, the nation that invaded the Northern Kingdoms in The Witcher 2.

The new character is brought to life by none other than Charles Dance, the actor who previously played Tywin Lannister in HBO's Game of Thrones series.

In a special video, CD Projekt Red depicts the character in the game, while interacting with Geralt, and also includes some insight from Charles Dance on fantasy experiences and how, thanks to great graphics and effects, they are no longer just the domain of children.

Check out the new video below and look forward to The Witcher 3's launch on May 19.
