“The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings” was a huge success, and while fans were getting through the game and its campaign mode, the next “Witcher” game was already being prepared.
Recently, CD Projekt RED revealed their roadmap for the future and it shows what the company is planning to do with their REDengine and the upcoming “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.”
The company says that it will be releasing two more games after “The Witcher 3” comes out in 2014. However, these would actually be shorter games at 20 hours, and “The Witcher 3” is supposed to have a 50 hour story mode.
CD Projekt RED also confirmed a long-term support for the new game and that it will be approximately two years. The support will involve entirely new mechanisms, and there is a big chance that this could be a story DLC or something similar.
Check below for the new list from CD Projekt RED:
2013
- open REDkit beta and further support of the modding community
- premiere of the first non-computer game set in the Witcher world
- launch of a local branch of CD Projekt RED in the United States, focused on marketing and PR for both Americas, especially the US.
