for some days, The Witcher 3 celebrated its eighth anniversary, and around this time the RPG weblog CD Projekt Red has accumulated, year after year, increasingly large sales numbers, to describe the situation that still makes it one of the cornerstones of the genre, so much so that it released a Complete Edition last December.
The Polish development team has indeed announced That The Witcher 3 has sold over 50 million units worldwide since its launch in 2015. As of April of last year, the game had sold over 40 million units, so it’s clear that it has continued to sell at a brisk pace, especially for a game that’s not particularly new.
In the meantime, CD Projekt also confirms that collective sales of the Witcher franchise have surpassed 75 million units worldwidecompared to 65 million units a year ago.
Recall that CD Projekt RED has a series of new The Witcher games in the pipeline. The studio is working on the next main game in the series, which will be the first in a new trilogy. A remake of the original game is also in development in collaboration with Fool’s Theory and unlike the original, it will be an open world game. In the meantime, The Molasses Flood has a spinoff in the pipeline, though the project has recently been rebooted.
In addition, the Polish team recently confirmed that it is not in talks with Sony.
