The Witcher Slays 600,000

CD Projekt RED announced today that its debut title, The Witcher, has sold 600,000 copies worldwide in the three months since its release.

Adam Kiciński, CD Projekt RED Joint CEO, was pleased.

“We are very happy with The Witcher’s performance to date. Our goal was — and still is — to reach one million copies sold during the first year. 600,000 games sold in just three months brings us much closer to this ambitious goal. It’s a great success for us, made all the more impressive by the fact that The Witcher was created by a completely new team and it is our debut both as a game developer and in bringing our products to a global audience. The task was not easy, as The Witcher brand was completely unknown in many markets, and it was released in a busy season alongside franchises that have been on the market for many years. Yet, I can confidently say that we’ve passed this trial victoriously.”

Kiciński went on to share some of the team’s future plans:

“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. We are still working on making the game better and we will actively support our fan community, which is getting bigger and bigger.”
