Last decade was indeed quite important for the gaming industry as new titles were being developed and different genres of games were being experimented upon. However, it was not all different with CD Projekt Red, they wanted one of their long-lasting titles to keep its legacy. The result, of course, ended up being Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. During and after the time of the release, it was quite hyped by fans for being a strong title and most anticipated game from CD Projekt Red. Seems like the players are still caring about the third installment of Witcher, considering the last sale numbers revealed by developers.
In the recent public announcement of Polish game developer CD Projekt Red, they stated that Witcher 3: Wild Hunt amassed 50 millions copies sold, and this was addressed by the numbers that were available to the public. The 50 million mark includes all platforms both in full-price and in sales. Further information reveals the number of sales of the Witcher franchise adds up to 75 million in total. CD Projekt Red CFO Piotr Nielubowicz further said that this makes them even more excited about the future of Witcher, hinting at the next installment of the series called Witcher 4.
Announcement of CD Projekt Red not only mentioned the success of Witcher 3 and Witcher series as a whole, their latest game Cyberpunk 2077 had been talked about as well. It was mainly about the upcoming DLC called “Phantom Liberty”, which aims to add new factions, locations, weapons and little tidbits such as new radio stations and combat options. Along with Phantom Liberty, CD Projekt Red is working on a side project about a new Witcher trilogy. Both of the new titles for Witcher have unknown release dates, but we can expect the new planned DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 to be released throughout this summer.
