The wait for the third version of The Witcher game just got longer. The developers at CD Projekt in an open letter have apologised to gamers for the delay in releasing the game ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’. The game was set to release on 24 February 2015 but has been pushed to 19 May 2015.
The letter sent by the developers states
that the reason for the delay is to ensure a better gaming experience by correcting glitches. The letter reads:
Dear Gamers,
Ever since we started working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we knew it would be an ambitious game. We wanted, and still aim, to give you an incredible experience, an epic adventure in a vast, completely open fantasy universe.
The sheer size and complexity of The Witcher, key features of the title, have had a decisive impact on production. Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio’s history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly.
With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks, so we are shifting the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to May 19th, 2015.
We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily. It’s a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologise and ask for your trust.
Thank you for the all support you show us on a daily basis. We truly do appreciate it. It has fueled us in our passion since the start and will continue to do so.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an upcoming open world action role playing game (RPG) based on the fantasy novel of the same name. This is the third part in the series of games, succeeding The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
