While its been known that The Witcher will be getting a third entry, nothing official has come of it. However, next month's Game Informer will spill the beans on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Some details include that the game map is 30x larger than The Witcher 2. That makes the world larger than Skyrim. It'll also run on the newly developed REDengine 3, which means it won't be broken up into acts like The Witcher 2 as it allows for free exploration. This means enemies won't scale with Geralt (the protagonist) either. There'll also be horses and fast travel, as well as mounted combat.
There will also be five times more unique animations for Geralt than the previous Witcher, as well as the ability to interrupt attack animations to dodge or block, although this depletes stamina. Dodging is no longer a clunky roll either, it's a simple pivot to keep the momentum of the fight going.
The Witcher 3 will launch in 2014 for the PC and "all top of the line consoles", whatever that entails. There's more info in the source as well.
