Witcher 3 Delayed to May 2015

Dec. 8, 2014

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.

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.

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

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…

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.
