CD Projekt Red delayed the very sexy looking RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt earlier this week, and company president Adam Kiciński explained why at an event in Poland yesterday.
“There’s a lot of small errors because the game is huge,” said Kiciński. “It’s the only reason behind the delay. We didn’t assume it will be this big. Only after putting all the pieces together it turned out it’s bigger than the two first put together.”
Another big open world RPG, Dragon Age: Inquisition, released last month, and though I never noticed anything too drastic when I reviewed the game, other players haven’t been quite so lucky. That followed hot on the heels of Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s much-publicised troubles.
“Gamers took our decision very well,” Kiciński said, referring to the delay. “The market is afraid of badly polished games on next-gen platforms. We want to put our names under this game [so]it has to be fun.”
The Witcher 3 is now set to release on PC and consoles in May 2015. Lets hope that gives CD Projekt Red the time they need to polish their ambitious game.
