The Witcher (
Polish:
Wiedźmin [ˈvʲjɛ̇ʥ̑mʲĩn]) is an action role-playing hack and slash video game developed by
CD Projekt RED and published by
Atari.
The game is based on the book series of the same name by
Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher takes place in a medieval fantasy world and follows the story of
Geralt, one of a few remaining "Witchers" – traveling monster hunters for hire, gifted with unnatural powers. The game's system of "moral choices" as part of the storyline was noted for its time-delayed consequences and lack of black-and-white morality.
The game utilizes BioWare's proprietary
Aurora Engine. A console version using an entirely new engine and combat system, titled The Witcher:
Rise of the White Wolf, was to be released in
Autumn 2009 but was suspended due to payment problems with the console developers, Widescreen
Games.
On
18 September 2009, CD Projekt RED officially confirmed that they began working on a sequel,
The Witcher 2:
Assassins of
Kings, which was released on 17 May
2011 for the PC and on 17
April 2012, for Xbox
360. The third game of the series, titled
The Witcher 3:
Wild Hunt, was released on 19 May
2015
At
Game Developers Conference 2008, CD Projekt RED announced an enhanced version of the game which was released on
16 September 2008. The significant changes featured in the enhanced version are over
200 new animations, additional
NPC models and recoloring of generic NPC models as well as monsters, vastly expanded and corrected dialogues in translated versions, improved stability, redesigned inventory system and load times reduced by roughly 80%. In addition, all bugs are said to be fixed and the game manual completely overhauled. There are also two new adventures available to play through:
Side Effects and
The Price of
Neutrality. A new option is to mix and match ten different languages of voice and subtitles. For instance, players can now choose to play the game with Polish voices and
English subtitles. Other featured languages are
Russian,
Italian, French,
Spanish,
German,
Czech,
Hungarian and
Chinese.
Aside from the game enhancements, The Witcher Enhanced Edition includes a "making of"
DVD, a CD with 29 in-game soundtracks, another CD with "
Inspired by" music, the short story The Witcher from the book
The Last Wish, a map of Temeria printed on high quality paper, and the official strategy guide. In addition, a new and enhanced version of the D'jinni
Adventure Editor is on the DVD with the two new
Adventures. The game updates, as well as the box's extras, are available as a free download for owners of the original version who registered their game on the official forum. Furthermore, old savegames are compatible with the Enhanced Edition.
According to
CD Projekt co-founder
Michal Kicinski, the Enhanced Edition required a $1 million investment, and the company has shipped
300,
000 copies of the retail version worldwide as of
December 2008, and counting digital distribution and retail sales the original game and the Enhanced Edition sold around 2 million copies as of
2010.
