CD Projekt RED has announced that its debut video game, The Witcher, has sold more than 600,000 units worldwide since its launch only three months ago. The game was awarded an admirable 8/10 on VideoGamer.com and was praised for its willingness to tackle adult themes.

“We are very happy with The Witcher’s performance to date. Our goal was – and still is – to reach one million copies sold during the first year. 600,000 games sold in just three months brings us much closer to this ambitious goal,” said Adam Kicinski, CD Projekt RED Joint CEO. “It’s a great success for us, made all the more impressive by the fact that The Witcher was created by a completely new team and it is our debut both as a game developer and in bringing our products to a global audience.”

Kicinski also revealed that the company will not be resting on its laurels. Continued game support and a big surprise are on the way.

“Our plans include continuous game support, the release of the powerful D’jinni module editor, the continued release of game updates and patches, and in late spring gamers can expect a pretty big surprise, which will be revealed at a press conference really soon – February 18th!”, said Kicinski.

“Unfortunately I can’t reveal anything further at this time, but I assure you that we won’t rest on our laurels and we have very promising plans for the future.”

Could this mean an expansion pack, maybe a sequel or even news of the game heading to home video game consoles?
