Das polnische Entwicklerstudio CD Projekt wendete sich heute in einem offenen Brief an die Gamer und seine Aktionäre, um einen Releasetermin für The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt zu kommunizieren. Nach reiflicher Überlegung hat man sich dazu entschlossen den Februar 2015 für die Veröffentlichung des dritten RPG-Abenteuers rund um Geralt von Riva festzulegen. Auch wenn sicherlich die Möglichkeit bestand noch bis Ende dieses Jahres fertig zu werden, so hat man sich doch dazu entschlossen, sich die Zeit zu nehmen, um die Qualität zu erreichen die Spieler und das Studio selbst erwarten. Man verspricht nichts Geringeres, als eines der besten und außergewöhnlichsten Rollenspiele. Die Originalmeldung findet ihr anbei, als kleinen Trost gibt es nochmal den Trailer von den VGX 2013 und ein paar wunderschöne Screenshots.




Release Date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – An Open Letter

Ever since we started working on the third installment in The Witcher franchise, it has been our aim to produce a title that would take our 11 years of experience in creating RPGS and distill them into a quintessence, into a game that would effectively crown those years. At the same time, we have wanted The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to expand creative boundaries, set new benchmarks, develop the genre as a whole. Ultimately, you, the players, must get an unforgettable adventure to experience in a vast, open world – and that’s most important. We’ve created a story that flows naturally, cinematically, rendered it in amazing sound and visuals, while preserving full freedom of choice – all for you. We knew this to be an ambitious plan, but believed we could achieve it by bringing together our team with its creative energies and current gaming platforms with their technical capabilities. A project this vast and complex would inevitably require special care in its final stages, manual fine-tuning of many details, thorough testing time and again.

We recently reexamined what we had achieved thus far, and faced a choice about the game’s final release date. The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious. We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us. Consequently, we have set the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for February 2015.

Dear gamers - we know many of you would have liked to play The Witcher 3 sooner, as soon as possible, even. We’re sorry to make you wait longer than you, or we, initially assumed you would. At the same time, we believe the game will prove to be worth the wait and meet the expectations you have of us. We believe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be an exceptional RPG, one of the best, providing many hours of wonderful entertainment.

Dear shareholders – we are aware of the responsibility that rests with us and thank you for the trust you have granted us thus far. We firmly believe that quality – more than any other factor – determines a game’s success, and that the decision we have made is thus equally valid in business terms.

    Auch wenn 2015 erstmal erschreckend klingt, ist es doch eher kein Beinbruch. Wird halt ein ziemlich großes Spiel und da gibt es viel zu tun, viele Details etc.pp. - lieber mal Zeit lassen. Und ob es nun im November/Dezember (worauf es wohl hinausgelaufen wäre) oder dann halt im "kalten" Februar erscheint, kommt ja fast auf's gleiche raus =)
