Dynamic Beard Growth Confirmed for Witcher 3

Impressive-looking facial hair is nothing new for video games. But Polish developer CD Projekt Red is going one step further with its upcoming role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

In this game, main character Geralt's beard will grow over time. The action hero's beard has several "states," according to CD Projekt Red's communications boss Michał Platkow-Gilewski.

"When you download the free Beard and Hairstyle DLC the growth of the beard will stop because we decided that when players want a predefined look, it would be weird to require from them to reapply it time after time," Platkow-Gilewski said.

CD Projekt Red previously described Geralt as a "relatively handsome man," citing his beard as one of his standout features.
