The Witcher 3’s latest trailer comes with a surprising twist reveal, but can you spot it?

CD Projekt Red’s latest look at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came during the 2014 Game Awards, and it included a little surprise. As one of the devs from CDPR noted before the trailer ran: Geralt of Rivia isn’t the only playable character in the upcoming game, and the night’s new 82-second tease revealed this other playable character.

Can you spot him… or her? It’s probably her. Geralt dialogue makes reference to Ciri and her “Elder blood” — “Elder Blood” is also the trailer’s title — and a few of the gameplay flashes feature a white-haired woman doing magical things. There’s also a brief glimpse of a dark-haired woman wielding two staves, right as a female voice plays over the clip, mentioning how “you were there” and “only you and I truly know what all of us will soon face.”

Then there’s also a large, armored brute wielding a nasty-looking sword, and he doesn’t look like he’s a big fan of Geralt’s. It’s probably not him. But you never know. Who do you think it is? (Our money’s on Staff Lady, if anyone cares)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt comes to PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on February 24, 2015.

A supposed Modern Warfare 4 cover art leak is circulating online, and the post sharing it already warns readers to be careful around fake leaks.

That caution fits the moment. Call of Duty speculation is moving quickly again, but the stronger thread is tied to platforms, not artwork.
