The Witcher sells 600,000 units in first three months

When Polish gamesmiths CD Projekt RED developed The Witcher for the PC, they knew it would sell well. When they launched it, they realized that they might have underestimated themselves. The dark action title has racked up more than half of its first-year target in a span of three months, and the devs seem intent on pleasing fans even more. Full story after the jump!

Polish game makers CD Projekt RED has a lot of reasons to celebrate these days. According to their latest announcement straight from Warsaw, their action game The Witcher has sold 600,000 copies worldwide in just three months.

The bosses are obviously very happy. CD Projekt RED Adam Kicinski commented that the original goal was only to sell a million copies within a year, but the way things are going, it looks like the sky’s the limit for The Witcher.

Kicinski says that the future is looking bright on the part of the fans, too. He assured continued user support, the D’jinni parallel module editor, more patches, and a “big surprise” by the end of Spring 2008. Can it possibly not be an expansion? We’ll see.

The Witcher for the PC is a brutal and gothic action game that incorporates deadly fighting moves with fantasy elements. Playing as hero-for-hire Geralt, users will experience battling fiends for peace, survival, and booty. It’s some bloody good fun if you ask us!
