The Witcher - 600,000 Sold in Three Months

CD Projekt RED is proud to announce that The Witcher, has sold more than 600,000 copies worldwide in just three months. The Witcher RPG is the maiden video game production for the company. CD Projekt RED Joint CEO Adam Kiciski is pleased with the announcement, stating the company’s goal is to sell 1 million copies in the first year.

Adam Kici?ski also hints at the developer’s plans for the near future: “Our plans include continuous game support, the release of the powerful D’jinni module editor, the continued release of game updates and patches, and in late spring gamers can expect a pretty big surprise, which will be revealed at a press conference really soon – February 18th! We are still working on making the game better and we will actively support our fan community, which is getting bigger and bigger. Unfortunately I can’t reveal anything further at this time, but I assure you that we won’t rest on our laurels and we have very promising plans for the future. We set our standards very high with The Witcher and we surely don’t want to lower them in the future.”

This is one of my favorite releases of 2007. The Witcher is built on the Aurora engine as is as Neverwinter Nights. The game has a great story line based on the books of Andrzej Sapkowski and provides hours of enjoyment as it is. With the release of the D’jinni tools, I can’t wait to see what kind of modules the modding community comes out with.

If you like the gritty, morally ambiguous adventures of Geralt, the first volume of Sapkowski’s stories about The Witcher has become available in English (http://www.amazon.com/Last-Wish-UK-Paperback-Sapkowski/dp/B00121UIP8/ref=pd_bbs_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201788033&sr=8-7).
