Developer CD Projekt Red announced that PC RPG The Witcher sold over one million copies since its release in October 2007, a feat that the company claims is especially impressive for a title based on an unfamiliar IP from an unknown studio.
The announcement comes several weeks after the release of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, a free 2GB update with improvements and new content developed according to fan feedback. The expansion also saw a retail release with several extras, such as music CDs, making-of videos, an official game guide, and a map of The Witcher's world.
“This is really just the beginning for us,” said Michal Kicinski, CEO of CD Projekt, the parent company of CD Projekt RED. “There are a lot more places to explore in the world of The Witcher and there’s obviously a huge audience out there that would still love to see the game on consoles… we’re PC developers first and foremost, but you never know! We’ve already unveiled our DRM-free classic-games distribution site at GOG.com, and we intend to build that site aggressively in the coming months. We’re also rather close to breaking our silence about the multi-platform project underway at Metropolis Software, in which we recently acquired a majority stake. Needless to say, we’re very excited about the future and we think gamers will be, too!”
