Witcher 3 Delayed to May 2015

 

The Witcher 3 has been delayed to May 19th, 2015, as just announced by an open letter from CD Projekt Red.

Dear Gamers,

Ever since we started working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we knew it would be an ambitious game. We wanted, and still aim, to give you an incredible experience, an epic adventure in a vast, completely open fantasy universe.

The sheer size and complexity of The Witcher, key features of the title, have had a decisive impact on production. Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio’s history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly.

With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks, so we are shifting the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to May 19th, 2015.

We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily. It’s a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to make Wild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologize and ask for your trust.

Thank you for the all support you show us on a daily basis. We truly do appreciate it. It has fueled us in our passion since the start and will continue to do so.

The Board of CD PROJEKT SA
This is disappointing news for fans avidly waiting for the next installment, but with so many releases in the first months of next year this move makes for March: Bloodborne, April: Dark Souls 2 re-launch, May: Witcher 3. And sometime also next year The Elder Scrolls Online should be making its way to consoles. So what are your thoughts? Better delayed than unpolished? Let us know in the comments!

    And even with the delay, you’re looking at a March-April-May release. Good luck keeping up on your personal hygiene until summer.

  2. Kinda happy about this to be honest. What with Bloodborne and DKS II on next gen slated for early spring, will give me time to play them before this beast of a game comes out. Was going to be messy…

  3. I’m wondering what this means for those ”DLC” updates. Will they just be included in the game now that they’ve got more time or will they still stagger release them?

    Seems that they’ve got performance issues with the game rather than a content creation backlog.
