The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – the next-gen RPG confirmed for PlayStation 4

CD Projekt RED's upcoming story-driven, open-world RPG will launch on Sony's
PlayStation 4 once the game is released in 2014. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the
final episode of the award-winning RPG series and a triumphant finish to the legend
of Geralt of Rivia. While the Witcher 3 is the pinnacle to the Witcher series, it is
also a standalone story that players new and old will love, as they have another
chance to live the dangerous life of a witcher. With the capabilities of PlayStation
4 and the next-gen-ready REDengine 3, The Witcher 3 will be a truly amazing RPG.

"We were thrilled when asked, several months ago, to be one of the developers who
were granted early access to the PlayStation 4. It was an exciting moment to be
invited to be in the company of other legendary developers like Bethesda, EA,
LucasArts, Ubisoft or Activision as one of the teams working on titles shipping
early in the PlayStation 4's lifecycle. Of course, we couldn't reveal any specifics
about this to our fans, even though many journalists and forum members asked about
when and how The Witcher might show up on Sony's console. After yesterday's
PlayStation Meeting we can finally promise: The Witcher 3 is coming to the
PlayStation 4. The new hardware gives us the opportunity to create something great.
We are able to work with the new console from its birth and this allows our in-house
REDengine 3 to push the graphical limits of what the PlayStation hardware can
display. The console is fresh and has some innovative solutions that we're looking
forward to using in our game," said Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED studio.

Yesterday Sony confirmed the release of their new console and distinguished CD
Projekt RED as one of the developers creating games for the new platform.

"It's a real pleasure to cooperate with Sony. Combining CD Projekt RED's unique
artistic vision and tech with the capabilities of PlayStation 4 will make The
Witcher 3 a truly next-gen RPG. With Sony's new hardware and our new engine, there
are no limits to what we can create in the process of realizing our vision for
Geralt's dark fantasy world," commented Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD Projekt SA.

Earlier this month, Game Informer revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and called it "a
must see next generation RPG." The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be the most robust and
breathtaking game ever created by CD Projekt RED, combining a free-roaming
environment with a non-linear story that makes the game a real RPG fan's dream come
true. Open-world exploration is an adventure in itself as the player will gallop
through war-ravaged lands, sail misty waters, and track down dangerous beasts for
money. An improved combat system will allow players to feel like a real monster
hunter, a witcher, who uses his superior senses and fighting skills to survive in a
dark fantasy world while he embarks on a quest to save his loved ones.

Studio head Adam Badowski summed up, "The Witcher 3 will be released in 2014
simultaneously on all high-end platforms available. We know that our fans are
looking forward to that date already, but we want to make it clear that this story
is a standalone, and we will be sure introduce newcomers fully to the world so that
they don't miss a beat. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will start with an breathtaking
opening, which will give many insights to the lore. The game design will allow
smooth introduction to new characters and encourage players to discover the vast,
living, open world of this installment of Geralt's tale."
